Hey, I’m Chris—thanks for stopping by.
I build and fix websites. More specifically, I help folks make sense of WordPress, WooCommerce, SEO, and all the odd little corners of ecommerce that don’t come with a manual. Whether you’re launching a store or just tired of trying to fix broken plugins at 2am, I’m here to make the tech side of your business less of a headache.
But look—I’m not some faceless “agency” with stock photos of people pretending to high-five in conference rooms. It’s just me. I like working directly with clients, understanding what they actually need (not just what the software says it wants), and figuring out a way to get it done without a bunch of jargon or upsells. You want someone who gives a damn and follows through? That’s where I come in.
When I’m not elbows-deep in code-related tasks or running my own ecommerce shop, you can probably find me out on a lake somewhere in Central North Carolina, kayak fishing in the early morning mist. Or, if I’m lucky, down near the coast—paddling the backwaters of the Intracoastal Waterway, chasing reds and flounder or castnetting between the islands.
Life’s always been a mix of tech, art and exercise for me. Before all this, I served as an USMC Infantry Marine. That experience shaped a lot—how I work, how I problem-solve, and yeah, how I deal with pressure when everything seems to go sideways.
I attended and graduated with a BFA from The Savannah College of Art and Design, surprisingly. Saved from all the surfing, partying and social life (though just) by being fascinated with both the history and the tech of art and being a little older than the average student.
Later on, I spent over a decade volunteering as a weightlifting coach at the Al Lowe Boxing Gym in Lindley Park, working with folks with special needs. Some of the best people I’ve ever met, no question.
I’m big on weightlifting (been doing it for decades), hiking trails that actually make you break a sweat, dancing like nobody’s watching when the band’s good (might need a beer first), and cooking food that tastes like it came from a place—not a chain. Mexican, Thai, Greek, Korean—you name it, I’ll try to cook it, and definitely eat it.
Oh, and I lived in Mexico City for four years. My Spanish is somewhere between “passingly decent” and “don’t ask me to translate medical documents,” but I can get around, order a Torta Cubana, and have a conversation that goes deeper than just tourist stuff.
All this to say: I bring a lot more to the table than code. If you want someone who’s direct, dependable, and actually gives a rip about the work—you found him.
Let’s talk.
