Originally from south central Kentucky, we moved to Nashville, Tennessee in 2010 for the tech not the twang. In 2023 we packed up and moved to Split, Croatia for a new adventure. After 18 wonderful months in the Adriatic we headed to our next adventure. Back in the states, we're now exploring New England from Providence, RI.
When I was the perfect age for glue sticks my dad let me help finish up the layout for the camera at his print shop. This early experience led me to join the high school yearbook for several of my high school years. I was hooked.
I went into marketing and print design. I've had thousands of my designs in print. The web was growing so I adapted. I became a web accessibility subject matter expert, speaking on the subject several times. I've helped upkeep over 150 websites & application in hands-on technical roles. I've built over 100 websites, over 90 of those I designed from scratch – some of them multiple times.
I have a passion for making the internet accessible for all. I want to help local businesses, non-profits, and communities get a web presence they control and own so they can multiply their abilities and extend their reach.

We have 3 of these and they are hands down the best air purifiers we've ever had. As someone who is allergic to everything, we've had lots of air purifiers. [contains quote post or other embedded content] View Original

Today, Magnus McFluffington turns 14. We had a great weekend celebrating our old man pup. Saturday he got to trek into the woods at Lincoln Woods State Park. Sunday he enjoyed Dogapalooza at Slater Park, where we found a few bags of local homemade treats. Happy 14th birthday! Here's to 14+ more! View Original

Magnus is enjoying his 14th birthday weekend! This morning we took a walk at Lincoln State Park. Cirrus & @slobaum@pixelfed.social explored some side trails while he rested in his wagon. He walked 1¼ miles today in the woods and he got an all clear wellness visit earlier this week. He's our healthy senior man. View Original

It was to hot for it this weekend, but I'm obsessed with this new outfit. I've had the necklace since middle school (lifted from my dads room) and I love finding a perfect top for it. View Original
