About

Who am I?

I'm a front-end developer living in the good ol' Midwest with my wife and our two daugthers (yes, they're adorable). When I'm not changing diapers or chasing the toddler I enjoy watching anime, playing games (mostly Battlefield), gardening and learning languages. I currently have a 1575+ Duolingo streak in German and just started ASL.

My wife and I love going to anime conventions; we usually hit up Anime Midwest and AnimeSTL every year and then choose a couple others to travel to (we went to FanExpo Canada in 2023!).

The Website

Random anime started as a niche site to learn more about SEO right after graduating college in late 2015. I did keyword research based off of things I was interested in and ended up on the phrase "random anime". The goal of the website would be simple: help people find new anime to watch. Thus, randomanime.org was born.

I constantly worked on the website as well as writing articles for backlinks and, eventually, the website started ranking and gaining traffic. Eventually, I started getting emails from people all around the world thanking me for making such a useful tool. It blew me away. I mean c'mon, people around the world enjoying something I created? Totally awesome.

Fast forward to the present and the website gets about 1k+ unique visitors daily. I still update the site regularly, though not as often as I used to because, ya know, responsibilities. I also still get emails, and yes, it is still awesome. I'm grateful to those that find it useful and even moreso to those that help support it.
