About Me

Who am I

Some know me as a web developer, some know me as a graphic designer, and some know me as a system anaylst/applications developer.  So who am I really?  Well the truth is I am all of the above.  I have been focusing my energy on web development primarily because I want to excel in this area, it’s what I went to school for, and I enjoy using all of my talents to satisfy my clients.  I’m currently working full time for the State of Indiana developing websites and applications for the Department of Corrections.  Ultimately I guess I’m a person who loves art, loves creating websites, and enjoys giving clients good customer service they can appreciate.

Education

First of all, let me say that I have always been a raw artist.  During high school I could recall taking semesters of advanced art classes which involved learning core techniques, and studying many expressionist and styles of art.  I graduated from Purdue University in December of 2004 with a Bachelors Degree in Computer Graphics Technology and a concentration in multimedia design.  My classes made me efficient with various graphic design and web development software and technologies.  I plan to pursue certifications in E-commerce, ASP.NET, and Database Administration.
