Webmaster

Hello, my name is Miles

And I’m a fucking webmaster.

For the past 15 years I’ve been in the weeds doing web development, SEO, and paid search. I’ve led teams of writers, designers, account managers, analysts, breakdancers, and stunt drivers. I’ve pitched to leadership, re-branded, migrated, rebuilt, and delivered on-time and under budget.

I also have a less marketable background in graphic design, photography, and video production – but it comes in handy.

I live in Chicago’s northwest suburbs, where I mostly take pictures of my dogs, ride motorcycles, and annoy my lovely wife.

Web Development

I’ve had the privilege of working with many wonderful and talented people on dozens of web projects over the years.

Here are a select few that I am most proud of.

Skills, Languages, and Platforms

From website design to development, SEO to advertising, photography to video editing, I’m a jack-of-all-trades and master of most, with most of my experience in B2B.

I have spent the last fifteen years honing the trifecta of marketing skills: design, development and strategy.

Published Work

I’ve had the honor of seeing my work printed in textbooks and on magazine covers and billboards from San Diego to South Africa.

Photography

Photography started as a teenage hobby for me that turned into a freelance gig doing photos for local metal bands. This built a portfolio of work that led to my first full-time marketing position: university photographer.

 

Since then I’ve started shooting weddings, concerts, models, families, landscapes, corporate headshots, and even a few natural disasters.
