Hey There,

Welcome to the portfolio site of Robert Spangler. I am a Creative Services Manager, at a place called Groove Commerce, over in Baltimore. This is where I show off my pretty pictures.

I have fun doing good work. My main focus is on conversion optimization, eCommerce, lead generation, clean code and basically… just trying to make websites better.

You never know though… If you think I’m the right guy for a project feel free to give me a shout.
