Hello, I’m Todd Regoulinsky.

Just doesn’t have the same ring to it as when Johnny Cash says  it, huh?

As you may have guessed, and I suppose by coming here you’re aiming to find out a bit more about me. I was born in New Hampshire and lived there for the first 28 years of my life. I graduated from the University of New Hampshire with a BA in Communication. It was during my time at UNH that I started messing around with website design, at first purely out of curiosity. Within a few months, I was hacking together my own sites and learning all I could from sifting through other people’s code along with a healthy dose of trial and error.

In 2003, I moved to Newport News, Virginia and spent almost a year working in a Mexican restaurant. Although it may sound a bit crazy, waiting tables had always been one of those things I’d wanted to try, and it made the humidity well worth it. My time in Virginia also provided lots of grist for my writing.At the end of the year, I moved back to New Hampshire and it was there that I met my wife, Kim. We married in October of 2004 and I moved to Old Orchard Beach, Maine where we currently live with our daughter Kaelin, two dogs (a boxer named Oscar and a 31-flavors mutt called Mia), and the cat who has been my trusty, if somewhat annoying and needy, companion for the past 11 years, Bootsy.

I am a freelance web and graphic designer, spending the better part of 12 years honing my skills and working with some great clients along the way. My studio is called 276 Design and if you’d like an example of my work, there’s a good sampling there in my portfolio. My work tends to be more of the “Form follows function” school, where usability and functionality are the first priority – in other words, it doesn’t matter how cool it is, if people can’t figure out how to use it or it just plain doesn’t work, then what’s the point?

Poetry has been a big part of my life since high school, when I first started filling notebooks with perhaps some of the worst lines to ever grace a piece of white-lined notebook paper. I continued writing throughout college, taking some literature classes and some poetry workshops, which helped me develop an idea of what and how to write. Since then, I’ve continued and recently collected poems for my first book, called Odd Bits Of Broken Things – which can be purchased online now through this link.

So there it is, a brief history of who I am. Enjoy the blog.
