Portfolio

If you’re curious about my creative endeavors, you’ll find them here. This is a collection of links to things I’ve written, websites I’ve created, and some photos I’ve taken.

WEBSITES

I’ve created a few websites over the years, some of which are long gone and some of which have stuck around.

Rochester Food Net

One of the first self-published food blogs in Rochester was the Rochester Food Net, created by a collective of local experts in 2009. After hundreds of articles and years of exploring local food, the project took a backseat for the entire crew.

In 2019 a couple of the original creators re-spawned the concept and included some new members. I was lucky enough to be invited to join the team and helped build most of the website.

Savor Life

My friend Michael Warren Thomas had a number of radio shows broadcast in the Rochester region. A handful of different shows on a few different topics were on the air for over a couple decades. Each show was different, but they each made up the Savor Life brand.

During the COVID shutdown he and I worked together on some ideas and I built him a new site from scratch, which also included embedded audio right on the site.

PHOTOS

I’ve dabbled a bit with photography, but the main purpose has always been to supplement my writing.

WRITING

Writing for other outlets apart from my own has given me ample opportunity to explore new topics and mediums.
