WHO AM I
Well, firstly, I wouldn't really define myself exclusively as a Web Developer. I am a Web Designer, Web Producer, Graphic Artist, and Online Marketer with nine plus years of experience.
Currently I am working with (ASG) Action Sports Group / Grind Networks as a Web Developer and Producer for ASG Digital. ASG's umbrella of publications includes Surfer, Snowboarder, Surfing, Skateboarder, Canoe & Kayak, Powder, Bike, Paved and SUP. Today, I am living my dream of working with Surfer, Snowboarder and the best Photography on the planet. Having been a subscriber to Snowboarder Magazine for eighteen plus years also helps.
I have a diverse background but have been actively involved in snowboarding since before the sport gained its popularity. Growing up in Laguna Niguel, CA and the heart of the Action Sports Industry, you could say board sports are practically in my blood. Since day one I have always had a passion for skateboarding, snowboarding, and surfing. I have been snowboarding since 1993 and had a season pass for eleven of those years.
My passion for snowboarding has followed my path in life. This passion was a big part in my decision to attend Northern Arizona University where I was Assistant Director of the Terrain Park at Arizona Snowbowl. After graduation I moved to Lake Tahoe and continued to follow my passion for the sport I love. Telecommunication and the ever-growing internet has allowed me to balance work and play anywhere in the world.
I currently have a Bachelor's of Science in Advertising with a minor in Graphic Design and Computer Imaging. To enhance my skillset I also have a Certificate in Web Publishing from University of California San Diego.
Graphic Viewpoint is my business name in which I do all of my freelance web and graphic design work. A couple of my current projects are websites for Mountain View Nursery, and Pow Gloves. I currently manage a number of sites which keep me busy and enhance my project management skills.
I am capable of a diverse range of skill sets including graphic design, web design, web programming, seo, marketing, advertising, and photography. My web development focuses on usability, optimization, cross-browser compatible, search engine friendly, and valid XHTML/CSS. There is nothing I can't do, and no project too big for me to handle!
