I've spent most of my adult life as an entrpreneur. I've created and run a tech support company, a web design agency, a live music venue, a clothing exchange, a music school, and a coupon site.
I have been building websites and applications for 10 years using HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, Ruby, MySQL, and Apache.
I love to make things look and feel good. Good design not only achieves it's intended purpose, but it evokes the intended emotional response.
