I've spent most of my career solving problems that don't fit neatly into a job title. My résumé says "Director of Web Development." Here's what that actually looks like.
Always in the middle of something.
Director-level. Earned, not assigned.
At Integrity, I run a 150+ website ecosystem — scaling toward 400+ — that reaches millions of users every month. A lot of the work is less about writing code and more about turning messy, undefined problems into structured execution. Someone has a "quick website issue" and it becomes a coordinated effort across development, QA, compliance, design, and content teams. My job is to make sure it gets done, done right, and doesn't get stuck along the way.
I stay hands-on technically — reviewing code, fixing issues, building automation that cuts repetitive maintenance at scale — while managing and mentoring a distributed team and leading WCAG compliance initiatives across the full portfolio. As Director of Operations for University of Utah Men's Lacrosse, I managed a six-figure seasonal budget and coordinated travel for 50+ athletes and staff to away games across the country. Different context, same skillset: organize chaos, create systems, make things happen.
When there's no tool for the job, I build one.
I noticed my QA team running the same manual scripts over and over — checking GTM implementation, scanning for outdated product language, flagging WCAG accessibility issues — across a whole portfolio of sites. So I built a Playwright-based GUI in Replit that lets anyone on the team run those tests on any site, any time, with no technical setup required. Results populate a live dashboard ranking best and worst performers. Issues push directly to Asana. No one asked for it. No budget was allocated.
I've also built AI-powered applications using the Anthropic API — tools that get used daily, not demoed once and forgotten. My toolset spans WordPress and Google Tag Manager to Playwright, Replit, and large language model APIs. The through-line isn't the stack. It's the instinct to spot a gap and close it before anyone else notices it's there.
I built an audience from scratch. Twice.
In 2010, I founded Utah Lacrosse News because nobody was covering the sport in the state. I ran it for seven years. In 2019, I did it again — this time as Utah Lax Report. I started with zero followers, zero subscribers, and zero budget. Today I run it as a real media operation: writing, strategy, social presence, Substack, and community relationships. All of it. Because that's what it takes to build something people actually show up for.
The rest of it.
Dad of four. Currently on a mission to visit all 30 MLB stadiums — because some goals need to be unreasonable. Lacrosse has been part of my life for as long as I can remember — the media work started because nobody was covering it, and I've never quite been able to stop. Everything else I build starts the same way: I notice something that could work better and I can't really leave it alone.
