Web Design
In the web circles I keep, I am known as the "content guy." The person who goes in and not only makes the site look good aesthetically, but also has attention to the written word as well. I pride myself in making sites look good, have good functionality and ensure the wording comes across as professional, fun or whatever the flavor of the site happens to be.

Customer-Centric Mindset
In the customer support circles, I am the guy that calms down the excited client. I talk in non-technical terms to the computer-challenged so that they can understand the problems and solutions. I am a people person, and pride myself on that.

Worker Bee
As a "worker bee," I am loyal to my company. Any of my past employers will tell you this, and you are more than welcome to contact them. I can take on projects that require me to work alone, or with a group. I get along with people of many different backgrounds and walks of life. I make friends fast, and though I do not "rock the boat," I do speak my mind when I see something that can help a situation.

View on Education
I am not proud when it comes to learning. If there is something I do not know, I will either ask questions until I am up to speed, or I will do a ton of research on my own to further my personal knowledge base. If there is something I know, I freely share that information to those that need help themselves.
