I am looking to work my way through college as an independent contractor and self-starter. I learned very quickly in life the best way to be happy with your employment is to be your own boss, so here I am.
I enjoy hard work and love tackling challenges. I do my best work ahead of strict deadlines and thrive on the pressure.
I am a self-starter with a positive attitude.

Wordpress is my bread and butter. It's how I learned XHTML, HTML, PHP and CSS.
I've completed multiple projects ranging from installation, to theme tweaks, to plugin development, to theme design and even content writing.
I specialize in utility work regarding installation, upgrading, tweaking and other minor development issues, but am also very proficient in theme development and design.
My latest project is at

Roanoke Area FairTax
Webmaster / Independent Contributor
I ported a theme and customized it for this non-profit organization.
I also developed sidebars utilizing different plugins and widgets based on where the visitor is at on the site. For example, a single post sees a different sidebar than the homepage and vice-versa. This is helpful for in-house marketing.
I completed the following:
- Project Mangement
- Project Design
- Project Development
- Project Implementation
I also designed the FairTax logo you see on the homepage. Also, navigate to

I completed my general education degree here, and took several classes and seminars focusing on web-design and development. I also helped design a lot of the school's club and activities pages, which I'm sorry to say, have since been replaced by work of much lesser quality.
