About

My Professional Life
As a teenager growing up in the information age, I was always intrigued by the web as a platform that could change the way we did everything. Over a decade later, it has, it continues to, and now more than ever, I'm excited to continue shaping the future.
I am the Senior Web Engineer at Pennsylvania-based startup WizeHive, an online collaboration platform which allows groups to share files, manage projects, track activity and collaborate with others in secure, private workspaces. I spend my days there advocating for best development practices and building scalable code & systems.
I am also the longtime managing partner of Xonatek Web Design & Development, and its subsidiary, DistiSuite eCommerce. The former builds web applications for a vast array of businesses, while the latter provides B2B eCommerce and web marketing solutions to wholesale distributors.
My Personal Life
Over the years, I've come to find that despite conventional wisdom, sleep deprivation and lack of a personal life are not the proper foundations for business growth. I make it a priority to find balance. I enjoy spending quality time with my fiancée and my local BBBS "little". I also make frequent leisure trips to both New York City and Philadelphia, living roughly 1 hour from each. Aside from that, I dabble in guitar and music recording, and follow baseball religiously - especially the New York Mets. Don't hold it against me.
