Owner at Active Works Media
Greater San Diego Area
I am originally from Ohio and started in the service industry to gain knowledge about the hotel industry. Along the way I studied international business and graphic design. I expanded my knowledge by learning html and JavaScript while attending school. This expanded my knowledge and opened new areas of interest to me. I have since learned many programming languages from php, java, xhtml, flash, and css style sheets. During my years in school I took the examination for a Microsoft Certified Professional ( MCP). I have since then worked as a General Manager and Marketing Manager for one of the biggest painting contractors in San Diego County. I have also received my California Notary public certification. I started my business two years ago and i have not stopped since. I am looking to expand my business in the next year and hope I can start another venture in the near future.
