The Specialized Generalist

Regardless of where I was at in my career, I have enjoyed making websites. My web design & development experience started in the fall of 1996, and has never stopped. I stay up to date with web-related blogs & podcasts, and then utilize that knowledge to further God’s Kingdom and spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
