About Me

My life's work and passion is website design and programming...essentially developing more efficient development plans, better marketing techniques and building systems for greater return on investment. If I'm not working, I'm hitting the waves or finding some other creative and exciting ways to enjoy life.

I moved to Florida to study at the University of South Florida and have been here ever since. The weather is almost always amazing and the scenery soothes the soul. I consider myself very lucky to be in such a beautiful place.

"The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience." - Eleanor Roosevelt
