About
I was born in Wisconsin Rapids, which is quite possibly the most boring city in Wisconsin. I went to the Art Institutes in Minneapolis and graduated with a B.S. in Web Design and Interactive Media. I now work at Azul 7 in downtown Minneapolis.
I am a huge nerd/geek/techie. I like video games, the web, movies, technology, and science. I like to learn new things and read about future tech. Space has always intrigued me, and because of it I think about the future and the possibilities of space travel.
Skill Set
My skills include, but are not limited to: PHP, MySQL, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, AJAX, Flash, ActionScript (AS2 and AS3), video editing and motion graphics.
Ambitions
As an interactive developer, I believe it's important to diversify my skills and constantly learn. I enjoy working on projects that stretch my abilities and allow me to combine more than one of my skills.
What are some other interests of mine, you may ask?
Activities: Basketball, paintball, football, chess, and d&d,
Movies: Gladiator, The Lord of the Rings, Back to the Future I and II, The Dark Knight, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, Airplane, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (the first one from the '90s)
