Born in Maryland. Grew up in Virginia. Have lived in North Carolina. Ended up in Nashville, Tennessee.

I’ve been at this Web thing for 3 years now. People always ask about what I do, and about whether I like my job or not. I always say yes, and that the Web world is constantly changing, going through a digital…fiber-optic…and wireless metamorphosis. So you have to adapt, and learn quickly. You also have to specialize in one or two things, not in everything. I read somewhere the other day that the record of the number of languages that one human being has spoken fluently is 28. Wow. If I could learn to code for the Web in 28 programming languages…I’d be a billionaire. But I’ve chosen the world of HTML/CSS – JavaScript – Flash. I’ve also been building and implementing CMS systems over the past year or two.

So that’s what I do. Do I like it, you ask? Yes – it’s a world-wide adventure. A world that’s rapidly changing (so make sure you keep up).
