Credentials

At this point in time, I’m quite happy here at Resource Interactive, so I am only entertaining consulting, authoring and freelance opportunities. If you are a non-profit or charitable organization who needs assistance with web development, I’d be happy to take a look at what you need to see if I can help you pro bono. This goes doubly so for creative and artistic organizations, independent artists and others engaged in preserving and propagating cultural events. If I can’t help you, I might know someone who can.
