I know this is a business, but I can't help making this first part sound a little bit like a Christian testimony - maybe because it is.  I will never hide the fact that my first and greatest priority is my relationship with Jesus Christ.  Due to this fact, this relationship invades everything I do - including everything in this business.  Why does that matter to you?  I hope you will see that this relationship causes me to do business with great integrity.  I believe whatever talents, gifts, and abilities I have come from Him, therefore, I try to complete each task with purpose, professionalism, and quality.  This means that the job I complete for you will be done in a timely manner, to the best of my ability, and with your best interests in mind.

As for my actual abilities and experience - I do have some!  I have been working in the graphic design field for ten years.  Most of my experience has been with Corel Draw and vector design, although I have spent the last year developing my skills with Adobe Photoshop and pixel based design.  The graphics that you see on this site were almost all created from scratch by myself and/or my partner, Jarred.  I am completely self taught and highly motivated to do well.  As far as web design goes, well, I'm technically a "Newbie" - though you will see from the sites on my portfolio page that it hasn't slowed me down at all.  I picked up this talent several years ago doing a very basic site for the company that I work for.  Since then, I have expanded my skills exponentially using Joomla and learning much more about CSS and PHP.

Though I will not strictly limit myself, I want to focus my energies on working for non-profit organizations.  I definitely understand what it feels like to have a head full of ideas and a pocket empty of the funds needed to complete them.  My hope is, through great looking designs and a professional web presence, that some of these organizations will be able to turn more of their plans and dreams into reality...
