If you're wondering exactly what it is I do - in the simplest sense, I am a content provider. What types of content? Well, have a look at the menu bar above and see some of the things I've provided. Who am I providing content to? Whoever I can have a mutually beneficial business relationship with.In the spirit of the anonymous quote printed above, I would also have to say that I am a solutions provider, again in the simplest sense. If there's a problem that I can solve for you with my skill set, I'll try to help you solve it. If there's a software solution that you need that hasn't been written, I can probably write it. Why, you may be wondering, don't I ever offer "absolutes" or "guarantees" - as in, "I CAN write it" or "I WILL solve it"? Going back to that quote above, it's because I'm smart enough to realize that with all the data, information, knowledge, and wisdom in the world, there are still some things that are beyond my reach. Defeatist attitude? I think not. I pride myself more in being a Realist, although a somewhat cocky one with a pretty mean God-complex.
At any rate, I suppose you came to this page to find out about what makes me tick, what empowers me to do what I do, what gives me the audacity to simply proclaim, "Yeah, I'm pretty sure I can do that."
The truth is, you won't find any of that here (other than my random, let's-get-some-strange-SEO-hits-from-this-text ramblings above.) Sure, I could go on for paragraphs in inflated self-congratulatory words of praise, but nothing I say here will have the likelihood of swaying you one way or another as far as hiring me is concerned.
The varied and various tools I use/am familiar with include:
- Microsoft Office 2007 Professional (primarily Word, Excel, Outlook, Access)
- Adobe Creative Suite 3 (primarily Acrobat Professional/Distiller, Dreamweaver, InDesign, Photoshop)
- Internet Code Technologies (X/HTML, CSS, PHP4, PHP5, Javascript, AJAX)
- Open-Source eCommerce and Content Management Systems (primarily PHP-based solutions like Joomla/Mambo, Joomla w/Virtuemart, OSCommerce)
- and I shoot almost exclusively with Nikon digital photography gear.

PS. For the record, I run Windows.
