My
Resume |
|
Welcome to my site. I currently
live in Orlando, FL, with my beautiful wife Felicia
and our 2 very entertaining dogs, Tian (4 year old
Retriever) and Bella (10 month old yellow lab).
I graduated High School at Dr. Phillips High School,
where I began my interest in graphic design. After
pondering the thought of studing architecture my
decision to play college tennis was a greater influence
in my younger years. At Stetson University, in Deland,
FL, while playing college tennis I took my graphic
skills to the computer and began my journey into
digital media. As my major progressed I was able
to utilize the school's equipment to increase my
knowledge of many programs and applications. In
order to earn extra money, I became a lab manager
and was able to study and do my work while making
money. As well as helping others with their projects.
This is probably why I don't mind trouble shooting
problems with customers, as I had a lot of experience
with frustrated students that were too impatient.
After graduation I received a call from one of my
friends who was also a lab manager with me wanting
to know if I was interested in doing web development.
I was very excited at the opportunity and what it
had to offer and started right away. The 5 years
I was there we learned and experienced so much.
It is amazing how time disappears and how quickly
technology grows. Through the years there our team
development a Content Management System, improving
on each version. I have accumulated numerous design
layouts, buttons, templates, backgrounds, flash
intros, virtual tours, customer relationships, and
web sites. I real enjoy designing and developing
new things and I have this great feeling of accomplishment
when a site goes live.
