A builder’s curiosity.
A business owner’s perspective.
I’m a web developer and AI practitioner based in Rialto, California. I help small businesses make better use of the web—and share what I learn along the way.
Building online
since 2007.
I started with blogging and WordPress. That curiosity grew into a business helping other people bring their ideas online.
Today I run Web Guy Nick, where my work spans website design, development, ongoing care, and practical AI and automation. I work with businesses in Southern California and remotely across the US.
This site is the personal side of that work: a place for useful guides, tools, and observations about building on the internet. I’m interested in what makes a tool useful, what makes a website clear, and what makes a workflow easier to manage.
Good ideas grow
through connection.
Communication, leadership, and local relationships are a meaningful part of my work.
Distinguished Toastmaster.
I hold the Distinguished Toastmaster (DTM) award, Toastmasters International’s highest educational achievement. My Toastmasters journey reflects a commitment to becoming a better communicator and leader.
