its my face

I picked up website development a few years ago. While working in a retail store. I spent down time learning about building a new website for the shop. Something magic happened and I easily found myself addicted. One realm of learning bled into another. As the wealth of knowledge grew, so did the interest in learning more. I've done it for fun, but I want to use my skills to help people who need it.

I do spend some time with fun things like going to concerts, playing video games or working in the yard. Hiking, walking the dog and backpacking is another nice escape from everything else.
