Testimonials
“Chris is a heck of a Drupal themer. He continually outdid himself with the speed in which he could code up a Photoshop mockup into a functional, rock solid, Drupal theme. When we would ask him to find a Drupal solution, he always had one. He is also creative designer in his own right, with a great eye and unique approach. It was a pleasure working with Chris.”
“Chris put together a website for one of my clients that looked easy to design at first but wasn’t, he really made it all work seamlessly. Chris did a great job in a timely manner, couldn’t ask for anyone better.”
Away From Keyboard
On my free time I can be found jammin’ Nintendo Switch, playing banjo or watching true crime shows. During the Summer I enjoy being outdoors with my wife and dog. I like to macrame, cross stitch, and knit. I build and play early fretless gourd banjos. Big fan of art, food and music. Known to sometimes sneak back to the keyboard.

name and your number and I'll get back to you?
