I help websites rank better, people learn to use web technology and companies succeed online.

I am in my senior year at Grove City College. Set to graduate in 2010 with a degree in entrepreneurship.

Actively involved in the creation and reformulation of many websites and have a holistic approach to success on the web through SEO, Blogging, Graphic Design, and proper use of Social Media.
