Pampelmoose

• Portland, Oregon Area

• Senior Web Engineer - Co-founder

  • Apr 2004 - Aug 2010

  Partnered with Dave Allen of Gang of Four and a group of music-loving creatives to help local musicians with a full-service agency approach. Producing, distributing, and promoting music, and building a few websites along the way. It was mostly about the free shows and the rad office, but we learned a lot about the music and creative business and met some extremely talented artists. The best times! Much of the team went on to work for Beats, which then got acquired by Apple Music.

Troika

• Chico, California Area

• Web Developer - Co-founder

  • Jan 1996 - Jul 2002

  Partnered with Dave Mustaine of Megadeth to form this web development shop with a heavy focus on working with other artists from Capitol Records. A great introduction to running a small business from a virtual office, and a fun way to dip my toes in the engineering world. From wireframing with Alice Cooper, to negotiating with Sevendust, to sharing a Snapple with Sammy Hagar, it was an awesome ride and I learned a ton.
