anthony I am a geeky, tech-lovin web-designer and guitarist living in Central Pennsylvania. Although I hold a day job using computers to make pretty stuff, I also run several websites which range from extremely popular to barely visited.


StevieSnacks is a blues guitar lesson website in the style of the late Stevie Ray Vaughan. During my college years, I spent a great deal of time learning certain aspects of his playing, and I have produced several lesson series teaching this style to players of similar bent all over the world. StevieSnacks attracts between 10k and 12k unique visitors per month, and presents over 50 free blues guitar lessons and lesson previews, several blues backing tracks.	OldToneZone is a website where I do various videos relating to guitar gear, and more specifically, the search for better tone. This website was born out of all the questions I got regarding my gear when I started StevieSnacks. In order to keep that site focused on lessons, I started doing my gear stuff on OldToneZone. In Fall of 2008, I did a 17 pedal shootout in a way that had never been done before, and built a side-by-side comparison engine that I called “The Comparinator”. This turned out to be a big hit on the internets. I will be adding pedals from time to time as I have a chance to record them.	NoLongerDriven.com is a Christian blog that I use as an outlet for my spiritual themed writing. I choose not to use my other sites for this purpose because I insist on tightly focused sites that don’t stray from their core topics. Although the stuff that I write about here doesn’t show up anywhere else, these topics are the engine behind everything else I do. I’m a lifer in church stuff, but the more personal my faith gets, the less it resembles the ‘religion’ that people seem so adverse to catching.
