Hi there,
I'm Blake!

I am passionate about web development. My day is mostly focused on building websites, maintaining servers and operations, and client communication. My free time is spent with my family, listening to music, craft technology projects, and hitting the gym.

I co-founded a digital marketing agency with my wife! Aside from development, our creative powerhouse also specializes in graphic design, strategic growth marketing, content creation and professional video production.

Check out my resumé below, the websites I've worked on, and feel free to connect with me on socials or reach out to me directly.
