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 National FFA Organization developing websites, email campaigns, trade show booths, promotional videos, and design art for various medias.  Ultimately I guess I’m a person who loves art, loves creating websites, and enjoys giving clients good customer service they can appreciate to help them reach the next level.

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.
