A St. Louis native with a mission
I've lived in the Greater St. Louis area my entire life. This is my home, and I have a genuine attachment to this community and the people who make it what it is.
That's why I started Piasa Digital—not just to build websites, but to help local businesses thrive. When a local shop or service provider succeeds, the whole community benefits. I want to be part of that.
When you work with me, you're not hiring some faceless agency. You're working with a neighbor who genuinely cares whether your business grows.
Two decades of solving real problems
I started coding in 2006, tinkering with small video game projects just to see what I could build. That curiosity never went away—it only grew.
After earning my Computer Science degree, I went on to build web applications for the local county government. Real systems, real users, real problems to solve. It taught me how to build software that actually works for the people using it.
Throughout my career, I've made it a point to stay on top of cutting-edge technology. Not for the sake of chasing trends, but because better tools mean better results—and faster delivery—for the people I work with.
I've always had ambitions of running my own business. Now I get to combine that drive with everything I've learned over the past 20 years.
First projects in video game development
Formal education in Computer Science
Built web apps for real users solving real problems
Combining experience with entrepreneurial drive
My business is helping your business
Here's the thing: I've spent years noticing how many websites struggle to do the basics. Contact forms that don't work. Pages that take forever to load. Mobile experiences that make you want to throw your phone. Confusing layouts that leave visitors wondering what the business even does.
These aren't just annoyances—they're revenue blockers. Every broken form is a lost lead. Every slow page is a customer who gave up. Every confusing experience is money left on the table.
If your customers can't find out about you, understand what you do for them, or have a clear way to pay you money—you're losing business while pushing potential customers toward your competitors.
I want to change that. I leverage my technology skills to remove the friction between your business and your customers—so you can focus on what you do best.
