Owner, MacCetera LLC - a Macintosh consulting and Web design service company
Greater Milwaukee Area
Independent Macintosh Consultant - providing commercial services and personal residential assistance to the growing Macintosh community in southeastern Wisconsin. This has included OS X server administration consulting for schools, graphics systems assistance for print and graphics houses, new computer setup and legacy system support for businesses and individuals.
Web Design and Hosting Services - providing professional, custom web design for small-businesses and organizations. My work carries the succinctness of my years writing tight computer code and I believe that every design benefits from a separation of semantic structure from style. HTML is pure structure, add CSS and the results are incredibly powerful while still being light-weight and cross platform/browser friendly.
My goals are to continue the excellent growth that I've had in MacCetera since 2003, to continue to follow my credo of "do the right thing", to give value to every client, and to have a blast doing the things that I really enjoy.
30 Years Computer Industry experience including:
- industrial computer graphics (mechanical & electronic CAD systems)
- Macintosh and cross-platform software development
- Macintosh hardware service and software support
- Macintosh server administration
