I have been programming since I was 9 years old. My sister made a Sailor Moon Website...and jealous little me wanted one too. So I created a GeoCities account and went on my way to learning HTML. After a few years I got into Flash Development, and started teaching myself ActionScript.

From there, I learned how to program in C++, and started doing Source Engine Mods, and created my All Weapons Mod (Which is awful. Seriously) and Elements (I still count this one as "in-production"). By this time I was in a High School programming class, and I learned Object Oriented Programming. I also met a fellow developer (Blaine Ehrhart) and he introduced me into the world of PHP.

He taught me include, and echo, and I taught myself the rest. From there I started doing small little site cutups as Freelance and started growing. My projects got larger and larger and my skill continued to increase. I finally got my first full-time job doing PHP when I was 17 with a local Utah SEO firm. I worked for them for over a year, and learned how to program SEO friendly code. From there I jumped ship to another SEO company where I continued to learn and improve my knowledge.

I am now the Lead Software Engineer at SpyderWise Media, and a Co-Owner of SpyderText (A true 2 and 3 way Text message system). I am continually learning new tools and new programming practices. And also hoping that the text message system doesn't break :)
