My Background

As you can probably tell, thats me on the left. Looking good... Anyways, on to my bio. Born in New Orleans, Louisiana, I moved to San Diego, California when I was 7. The youngest of 7 kids I got into a lot of trouble growing up, who doesnt? I picked up a copy of X-Men #1, the Jim Lee X-Men. Because of it, I started drawing, drawing anything i could. Evenrtually I jumped into the video games. By the time high school was over, I was a geeky kid that was all about computers and games. 

After high school I went to college, found a job, left college, and traveled the world. I got a first hand look into the lives of people from Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. I did that for a year until I realized I didnt want to work for the Navy forever. So I went back to school. Probably one of the best decisions I have ever made. Platt College really opened my mind to better possbilities. Being involved in website design and development fused all of my childhood interests together, and now, I get paid for it.. 

From then on, I have continued to seek that higher level, both in Design and Development. Developing websites is eactly what I want to do. Im not the type of person to do the same thing everyday, I need to be hit with problems to keep it spicy. Working in the web industry means never stopping. There is always something to learn, which will allow me to conitnue growing.

Present

Right now, I am working as a front-end web developer for Gaslamp Media. Creating sites using Drupal's content managment system. Ive learned alot working there, and Im still learning. Working here everyday, and Im just getting better and better.
