Mad Skillz
I first started tinkering around with making web sites in the fall of 1996. I was an admin assistant for a consulting firm at the time, and would spend the weekends drinking cheap beer and staying up until 5am working on my Cure web site. I can't believe it's been 8 years! More over, I can't believe I built a career out of a drunken weekend hobby.
It's amazing to me how far I've come and how much farther I will go.
I started working professionally as a web designer in 1998. Around 2000 I went back to school to finish my associate's degree in graphic design. I graduated spring of 2003. In my 8 years of experience, I've completed probably 3 dozen business sites at this point.
