I built my first website when I was 14.  It was absolutely terrible.  So terrible the background was the default desktop wallpaper from Windows XP terrible.  That terrible.

Since then, I’ve learned a lot.  For a long time, I didn’t think web development was my bag.  It didn’t come as naturally to me as to others.  I knew my technical understanding of code was lacking compared to many.  But somewhere along the way, I realized that I enjoyed it.  And furthermore, I realized that despite my weaknesses, I was good at it.

So, after working for a few years in system administration, I switched to development.  After a few more years of working corporate development jobs, I found more and more of my time was going to freelance work and that I enjoyed this even more than my day job.  Eventually, it became very clear that self-employment was the next step in my career.

So here I am.  Working for myself, living the dream, and trying to keep getting better at what I do. Oh, and paying off those student loans.
