About
I’m a Web Designer and Frontend Developer with more than 20 years of experience building digital products that focus on usability, performance, and real business results. My work has always centered around human-focused design—creating experiences that are intuitive for users while helping businesses grow.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with brands including the NFL, IBM, Hard Rock, Wells Fargo, U.S. Bank, Chase, The Melting Pot, and Marriott Hotels. These experiences allowed me to contribute to digital platforms used by millions of people while continuing to refine my approach to thoughtful design, problem solving, and product development.
At the same time, I spent many years building something of my own. I founded Springrates.com in 2005, which became the first online retailer dedicated exclusively to performance suspension products. What started as a small side project driven by my passion for cars slowly grew into a trusted resource for automotive enthusiasts looking to improve the handling and stance of their vehicles.
In 2024, after years of developing the business alongside my corporate career, I made the decision to pursue Springrates full time. Today, as Founder and CEO, I lead all aspects of the company—from ecommerce development and product strategy to brand and user experience. The business continues to grow as we expand our catalog and refine the buying experience for enthusiasts across the country.
Whether I’m designing a product, building an ecommerce platform, or solving a complex user problem, my goal has always been the same: create thoughtful digital experiences that help people find what they’re looking for while making the journey intuitive and enjoyable.
