Joel Penton (learn more about him here) approached me about joining his team and helping promote this large outreach here in Columbus, OH that will take place at St. John Arena on October 27th at 7pm. This event has been a dream of his ever since he was a defensive lineman on the 2002 national championship football team at Ohio State. Coach Jim Tressel wrote about the discussions he and Joel had starting on page 106 in his new book, The Winner's Manual. The first event took place in 2002, with well over 13,000 in attendance.
My task was to improve the promotional material for the event. This included a photo shoot with Coach Tressel and three OSU football players on his team (James Laurinaitis, Marcus Freeman and Malcolm Jenkins). I was also responsible for creating the items you see to the left (website, posters, fliers and door hangers, and the logo). I tried to let Coach Tressel wear my VT Hokies hat for the photo shoot but he turned it down! I can understand why, I guess. It's an honor to work with all of these guys and see them really taking a public stand for their faith in Christ.
I really admire Joel and how he has followed the Lord by continuing this year with a second event. We had many chats and went through a few re-designs in order to have the school approve the materials. Seeing 60+ churches and ministries financially and spiritually partner with Joel and the team to pull the event off is just amazing. It's humbling to see 200,000 of these promo pieces placed into the hands of those ministries, in an effort to reach many here in Ohio. If you're near Columbus come out and join us at St. John Arena on October 27th! If you can't make it, please pray that God continues to work through the hearts of these great people!

This was the first site I have developed that was focused on providing news stories to their audience. It was created for the Fellowship of Grace Brethren Churches, an audience of church staff members and those who attend church within the denomination across the world. I was able to add a photo slide feature to the front page that resembles those you might have seen on much larger news sites, which links to some of the top stories or items on the site. The website is also pulling in headlines from this ministry's external blog. The same staff that controls the BMHBooks.com website is also maintaining this site. I feel good about the design and functionality of the site, and believe that this project brought some challenges with it that I can now more easily provide going forward.

This website is possibly the largest that I have had to work on. It was a re-design from an older site that they have been using for quite a while, and ended up including around 150 products (books, commentaries, charts, etc.) that are available to be purchased online. An interesting part of this project was returning to Winona Lake, Indiana, home of my alma-mater (Grace College ). I had not returned since graduation in 1999, and the place has definitely changed for the better. I was able to meet up with a close friend for lunch just after training the staff for 2-3 hours on updating the site themselves. It will be interesting to see the new products offered on the site and watch it continue to grow.

This is the fourth website I was able to create for Grace Church of Powell (also below in the portfolio). We're still in the process. We're still in the process of putting the finishing touches with the design (possibly animated bugs, etc.), and the staff is just now starting to get familiar with adding content to the site. As the children's ministry director, Cindy French was able to guide what kind of material they wanted on the site. One of the best features is that parents can now register their children (up to 4 at a time) for any of the 4 ministries that they can be involved in. You know something must be going alright when a church asks you to create four websites.

It was a pleasure working with Mike Stanley on this project, and taking a strong desire that he had in mind and making it come to life on the web. If you or any of your friends or family members are either Christian athletic coaches or athletes, this site is for you. Coaches can sign up to share drills, techniques, coaching nuggets, testimonies to their former coaches, or articles that might sharpen the lives of those who visit the site. Please pass this site along to anyone you have in mind. It's also a great outreach tool to share with those interested in athletics.
