About Me: I was born in Jerseyville, IL, but grew up in Carrollton. I decided to mess with computers because I like to fix things, and fixing computer problems just came naturally. I graduated from SIUE, and got a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. After graduation, I got hired in the Tech Support department at MonsterCommerce. Basically, they help small businesses easily create online stores. I learned Classic ASP while I worked there, and decided to rework my website. I grew as the company grew, and learned all aspects of the business. The company was acquired by Network Solutions in January of 2006, and I became the Product Manager for E-Commerce. I worked there for 6 years, and loved the work and the people. Now I am back to doing development work, which I also love, on a regular basis as a contractor. I met my beautiful wife back in 2003, and we fell in love and got married on June 28, 2008. We bought a house together in 2006, and have now accumulated two Miniature Schnauzers.
