About Me

I currently am working as a Front End Developer at Dealer e Process in Downers Grove, IL. In Dec of 2007, I graduated Cum Laude from Bradley University with a major in Multimedia and a minor in Photography. I have experience working with web design and development allowing me to create web standards sites with tools such as XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, MySQL, PHP and Flash Action Script. Other areas that were included in my study consist of video editing and computer animation. I am always working to expand my knowledge in all areas.

Some of my favorite websites include Smashing Magazine, the Tuts+ series, GoToAndLearn and Google. In my free time I spend time with my family. I also enjoy going to see movies and musical theater.
