Freelance Design and Development

My nameLiving Life Out LOUD! Why sit on the sidelines when each of us has the power to create!

Personal & Professional Profile

Working with my wife as Remarkable Team LLC, My current revenue streams come from web design and development, Mural Artistry, Graphic Design, Business Consulting, Product Representation, and Web Marketing.

Turning the classic SITCOM (Single Income, Two Children, Oppressive Mortgage) into a liveable life, I have enjoyed the life of a freelance worker since 2008. Working predominantly from my home office, I enjoy pulling from my wide experience in various industries and applying that knowledge to my customer base. I've found that customers often value my opinion more than I've imagined they would.

Renaissance Man Skills

Some people can write resumes that pigeon hole them so well, that they are guaranteed to win specific job opportunities. I on the other hand am a jack of all trades. I can sell, design (electrical), design (wallcovering), design (website), design (business processes), and analyze business situations to determine the simplest marketing options that will delivery the maximum ROI.

What I've learned from Past Employers

Life has seemed more of an Education that Education!

Questions I've learned to Answer with my Clients and Vendors

  • Always Have an answer -Do not be indecisive. "If I put a gun to your head, what would you do?"- Thanks Raj Kumar
  • Make Realistic Deadlines- and Stick to them. "Give me a date, even if it is bad just give it to me!" -Thanks Sunita Chavan
  • Life experience is invaluable. "You don't need an MBA" - every direct manager I ever had.
  • Everything is negotiable. -"That's preposterous -we don't do that" - every outlandish deal I've sealed.
