Speed Stack

I’m proud to have been a part of the development of the speed UTV stack, which includes robbygordonoffroad.com, speed tools, and speed energy.

Vector to 3d to Track

I frequently got my ‘feelings’ bruised while working at Hendrick Motorsports as the graphic artist. Scrolling the web, comments like “Hendrick needs to fire the graphic designer,” along with “It’s like they are not even trying.” Over time I began to process the criticism differently by not taking any of it personally.
