About PhilNick

That's me...PhilNickHey there, thanks for visiting my personal website. It serves as my not-so-private web playground: blog, portfolio, photos, music and more all rolled into one.

I am first and foremost an artist, gamer and husband (no kids yet) and currently reside in the U.S. in the beautiful city of Seattle, Washington. I work for Microsoft as an eLearning Specialist for one of their training divisions. I definitely had some pre-conceived notions about working for “the borg” but it has been a pleasant surprise and I have been loving it. I get to do plenty of web design and development, as well as play with the latest products, all while hanging out with some pretty smart folks.

Lately I have been enjoying the company of our cats and life in the city with my wife, Willa. Of course, I am an avid gamer and love to dabble in the fine arts as well, so those two activities are never far from my mind.

Keep checking back for frequent updates and thanks again for visiting.

  1. nobody likes change Says:

    I’m a little stressed out about the recent change in website. The graphics are unfamiliar, the previous flow is gone….. I’m sure this format is cooler in the nerdy computer guy land that you live in… but I,m not a fan. Not to say that you are not very talented and all that, but no one likes change. Still love you though
