I build websites, tools, and browser extensions — some for fun, some into businesses. Collectively, hundreds of thousands of people have used them over the last 25 years.
Sites and companies I've built and run over the years — from a college homework assignment to AI-driven investing.
I created this website based on a homework assignment given to me at the University of Oregon.
After tossing around some ideas, I decided to create a webpage that was mostly just useful for myself and others for quick access to things used daily — local bank, my favorite sports team, news, etc.
After a few weeks, my roommates started using the page, and after a few months, I started seeing people around campus using it. 25 years later, the site is used by thousands of people around the world.
When I gave Best Homepage Ever a major update, a lot of longtime users told me they missed the original — plain, quick, and always right where they left it. So I built Classic for them.
Popular websites are named in plain text and sorted into labelled boxes — Shopping, Sports, Travel, Food, Finance, Health and more — with one search box, the weather, email, and a new landscape photo every day. No icons to hunt through, no ads, no clutter.
Some people don't want technology changing on them every few months, and I get that. My promise is to keep Classic exactly the way it is.
Researching a stock properly means reading financial statements, scanning the news, checking the charts, and then comparing all of it against the competition. That is hours of work for a single ticker.
Stonck does it in under 5 minutes. You enter a ticker, and a team of AI agents go to work in parallel — analyzing everything from fundamentals, news, sentiment, technicals, peer comparison, risk, and more.
Their findings are combined into a single readable report with an overall rating and a confidence score, so you can see not just what the analysis says, but how sure it is.
This site began as a personal project for anybody heading up to Lake Arrowhead, California to be able to check weather, road, and snow conditions.
It was created to help people view some popular Lake Arrowhead webcams, and safely get up the mountain.
This is my personally owned cabin, which my family and I have named Little Doe. It started as a small, worn 1930s cabin that our two families took on as a place to meet in the middle — some of us in San Diego, the rest in Los Angeles. What we thought would be a remodel turned into a full rebuild, and years of long weekends later it's a warm, wood-clad Lake Arrowhead cabin with big windows that pull the lake and mountains into every room.
I built the website too. It pulls a live availability calendar from Airbnb, takes inquiries for extended stays, and has a guest-only section of short how-to videos for everything from the fireplace to the front-door lock.
Having been a travel agent for STA Travel for 5.5 years (2002 - 2008), I realized an opportunity in the Australian Visa business. This led to an 11 year run for a company I started, and where I learned to do web development and online marketing.
This website was born when I wanted to put together a site that lets you quickly see all the airline baggage fees in one place.
This is a non-profit website that I offer the world for quick and easy access to see each and every airline's baggage fees globally.
My friend Griff Jurgens was the founder of this company, and I became one of the first customers to try this service out.
I immediately recognized that gifting a song to someone is one of the best gifts one can give another person.
We partnered up in 2021 and gathered a small team of musicians that absolutely love making music for people. The service brings smiles to people's faces, and makes for a much better gift than something material. It's a gift that lasts forever, and can be shared with others.
Having had a long-time interest in investing in microcap stocks, in 2024 I decided to create a Microcap 100 index.
This will be created and managed using artificial intelligence, with a specific set of fundamental and technical indicators for the stocks included in the index.
The goal is to help people invest safely in smaller, microcap stocks in the U.S., and possibly see outsized returns in tiny under-the-radar stocks.
Lightweight tools to customize your browser. More on the way.
The best links are the ones you stumble across while browsing, and those are exactly the ones that get lost. Portal fixes that.
When you land on a site worth keeping, one click adds it straight to your Best Homepage Ever — no copying URLs, no switching tabs, no losing the page you were on.
Bookmarks tell you where something was, not what it said. PinDrop saves the thing itself.
Right-click anything on the web — an article, a recipe, an image, a video, a passage of text — and it lands in your Snippets vault at Best Homepage Ever. Articles are stripped of ads and clutter on the way in, and you can grab a screenshot of any page to keep a visual copy.
I thought Google was being a bit monopolistic by not letting Chrome users choose their own new tab page. So I built a neat, lightweight extension that lets you customize your browsing experience.
