I am a Web Developer/Designer and have been for over four (4) years. I hope to work in a fun, creative environment where I can help bring innovative ideas out into the open.

I've been involved with computers ever since the public school system decided to put UNISYS ICON machines in each and everyone of the classrooms. My first encounter with computers came with turning on the glowing machine, watching the monitor open up. It consisted of me plugging in the computer into the wall and hitting the power button. I was in competition with another student, Bradley, to see who would be the computer guru of the class.

In the years leading up and outward of public school, I had been focused on the look, flow and effect of computer graphics and functionality. This came with countless hours of video-gaming, computer-gaming, and at times, doing a little bit of both at the same time. I may not have been a math whiz or a home economics major, but I was productive when it came to computer technology.

Before going to college, I had spent 4 years in a high school excelling in the arts rather than the academics. Standing out amongst the crowd meant being an actor. Performing in several productions and competitions, I had become a charismatic individual sharing comedic and dramatic effects with the people around me. Although I could have went onward with an acting career, my future felt right with my childhood hobbies of computers and technology.

Commencing my first year at Humber College as a Computer Programmer Analyst required hard work, but seemed lacklustre and didn't present any kind of "fun". I didn't mind the work -- I just didn't feel that I was in the right position. I decided to switch programs and study to be a Network Specialist. I earned a 2-year diploma achieving honours numerous times. Finishing three years at Humber, it didn't feel like it was enough. I was avid in web programming and web technologies by the end of my Networking program. I didn't feel that I had enough under my belt to go out into the working world. So, by passing that judgment with some thought, I applied and was accepted into a post-graduate program for Web Design and Internet Managament.

After completing sites for clients during my freelancing days, I took a full-time position at Truition eCommerce Solutions as a Web Developer. The job allowed me to interface with many different clients such as Sirius Satellite Radio, Dell Computers, Konami, Bodog Entertainment and the Toronto Blue Jays. The job involved management of web sites, including physical changes, functional improvements and repairs, and full builds from the ground-up.
