About Jesse
While relatively new to higher education, I have 10 years of web design and development experience working with a variety of clients in western and central Pennsylvania. I’m picky about “design-y” little things like whitespace and typography and also quite particular about CMS features and content strategy. A walking left-brain / right-brain slugfest.
Since February 2010, I have served as Digital Media Specialist for Allegheny College in Meadville, PA – which is a fancy way of saying I’m the “web guy”. I oversee all aspects of the Allegheny family of websites as well as their growing social media presence.
I write about my experiences. Most of the time that will include WordPress, web design and development, higher ed – but also sometimes music, productivity, Apple news, and who knows what else.
[Any opinions expressed on this blog are solely my own and not those of my employer. In other words, I do not want to be fired.]
In addition to my web experience, I’m an accomplished musician, recording and performing as a solo act as well as playing with multiple bands including The Square Roots and The Subclavians.
I live in Titusville, PA with my wife, two children, a dog and a cat.
