About
Ruthless Automation is a name I swear I read somewhere, but have never been able to track down. It’s the way I want to approach my work – there’s never an excuse to do something by hand when you can make it easier with some up-front sweat equity.
Currently I’m a web developer in Dayton, Ohio, with a focus on writing HTML and CSS by hand, and enhancing things with jQuery and YUI where needed.

Finally, I live with my wonderful wife and our daughter Grace. Being a father rewards me in ways I never could have imagined, and I try to appreciate that at least once a day.
