Please take a minute to introduce yourself...
How did you start writing/programming for the web? What kind of web-related projects do you work on? Do you have any other interests? [Information about web companies should be posted elsewhere; this thread is for people to introduce themselves.] |

I come from the audio post-production and recording industry. I started long before computers, you know razor blades and magnetic tape. But as computers became more prevalent i started getting more interested in working with other digital art forms.
My first websites were for my own business. Then one day at the tennis club i made the mistake of telling the president they should have a website. That lead to a an ever expanding volunteer project that has no end in sight. Then I started to gain a reputation amongst my wife's colleagues as someone who could help with their sites. So I have a little business on the side that I see as something i can do even into retirement. I think there is a niche for designers and consultants to very small business and individuals, who need a lot of hand holding and patient plain-spoken explanation of the options and facilities available to them. Tennis, music, cooking and gardening are my hobbies. |
