About me

It all started when I was 10 years old, my dad bought the Atari 1200XL (left) with Basic and Microsoft Basic II cartridges. I really got into learning how to make this computer do things from bending and twisting hand coded games from a book to drawing pictures using pixel coordinates to simulating airline computers and bank terminals. My passion for computers grew as I discovered newer things, new commands and ideas to make my programming more complex. It wasn't until the late 80's when my father brought home a PC with DOS 3 Windows 3.1 installed. From there I was introduced to Qbasic where I gradually drifted away from programming and into the operating system itself and the environment DOS and Windows GUI brought to the table. Years past and I lost touch with this mighty invention until later.

Years later around 1997 I purchased a PC from a local computer show and this process started once again. Just like I never stopped. There were so many new things since my last encounter I was excited to see what has improved and mostly what I could do with it. I had catching up to do. I wasn't to long after that I finally got to see the internet and right away I wanted to know how these web sites where made. I was always into showing off my talents in this field and what better way than on the web.

Within the next year I was teaching myself HTML from source code on existing sites and hand coding little web sites, from notepad, on my hard drive then on to free hosting sites. Around late 1998 early 1999 I discovered WYSIWYG editors and I leaped in my abilities, later moving on to graphic editing.

In 2001 I wanted to learn the things I was missing or couldn't figure out on my own as well as get a piece of paper declaring myself as having these skills, so I enrolled in a school that taught these very skills I needed to fill in these "gaps" that I had.
