I've lived and worked in the Houston area my entire life. Starting at 16, working in the camera and pre-press department in the offset press and printing industry, moving to sheet-fed printing field and then on to web design, and web development has given me a great foundation to build on. I started building websites for a family business in 1994 (!) and since then I have worked to develop my skills and love for HTML/CSS, Photoshop and everything that goes with that. In 2008 I started studying and learning SEO and I have really found an appreciation for the hard work it takes to be successful for clients. It is awesome when you can work to achieve that first-page, first-position on Google when there are hundreds of millions of competing results. (I'm such a geek!) I am working on learning PHP, Python, jQuery and all of the other codes and languages that make the work I do more refined and sharp. It is a never ending process and I don't think I will ever learn it all, but I am going to give it a shot.
