About Me
The man behind the screen
I was born and raised in Savannah, GA and currently reside in Pooler, GA with my beautiful wife Nikkie. I have been involved with Web development for about eight years now. My first and foremost goal during my development is to "work with enthusiasm as though working for the Lord rather than people" (New Living Translation, Eph. 6:7). My interest started in the early ages of HTML 3.2 and grew into javascript and other languages. I started learning more about the graphical end of Web-mastering sometime later. I aim to make use of the latest standards and methods in Web design during all of my projects.
I am blessed enough to be married to the most beautiful woman on the face of the earth (husbands - you are entitled to disagree...single guys - you aren't). Nikkie and I got married on June 2nd this past summer. Music also plays a very large role in my life. I love to sing and play instruments - especially while leading worship. I've led worship in various ministries as a part of various churches in the Savannah area.
The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing
The biggest influence, leader, hero, and voice in my life is my savior Jesus Christ. Without Him I could do nothing. (John 15:5) I firmly believe that all the work I do (not just Web related) is serving Him. I gave my life to Christ at Coastal Empire Christian Camp right before going into middle school and have been in love ever since. Love is tough and so is a life with Christ in this world. I couldn't fit all of my experiences and lessons learned on this site. If you have any questions about my relationship with Christ feel free to ask!
"The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing" - meaning: Many people question what the purpose of life is. Why are we here? What are we doing? What's the main thing we're supposed to do? Is there a main thing? I try to keep my focus on Christ in everything I do...making Him the main thing in my life. So if Christ is my main focus and I want to keep him number one in my life then...the main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.

What?
I design, develop, and hand code Web projects with various purposes. The majority of my work involves XHTML/CSS based designs with a PHP/MySQL back-end. All of my projects are are standards based aiming to be accessible by as many parties as possible.
Validation
"Just as texts in a natural language can include spelling or grammar errors, documents using Markup languages may (for various reasons) not be following these rules. The process of verifying whether a document actually follows the rules for the language(s) it uses is called validation..." ("Help for The W3C Markup Validation Service", W3C.org)
