CelebrityPWN
A custom built social news website with a focus on celebrity gossip. The stories with the most votes are promoted to the front page. This is the first known hybrid social news site, meaning both registered and unregistered visitors can vote and submit comments. The conversational comment system is among the most powerful and cleanest on the internet.
In under two years since I built the site it achieved over 250,000 unique visitors per month. It has since been sold to Fameball.com to achieve even greater heights.

FantasySP
My current project is to make the lives of fantasy sports fans much easier. When it comes to playing fantasy sports, player news is vital to setting lineups each week. FantasySP features player tracking that dwarfs any other site because it combines over 15 sources. The site crawls the internet looking for sports news for the NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, college football and college basketball. It even has exclusive run differential breakdown stats for basketball teams and baseball players.
In just 6 months it is quickly becoming the go-to source for fantasy sports fans with a rapidly growing user base. It is projected to surpass 100,000 unique visitors per month in the first quarter of 2009. In February 2009 the site received an updated design (thanks to Pushhandle) and new site features, such as the addition of the iPhone application.

Trade Analyzer
The fantasy sports industry leader when it comes to evaluating trades for the NFL, NBA, and MLB. It analyzes dozens of factors for each player to give the most accurate player evaluation possible. It features player commentary, performance graphs, and fan comments.
In the past 4 months it has surpassed every other fantasy trade evaluator on the internet setting a new mark of accuracy. It is the new standard for fantasy player comparison and analysis.
