I became obsessed with websites and site design around 1998, and in 2000 I was invited to help co-found a cutting-edge entertainment startup (nowsitEs.com) that was just a couple of years ahead of its time. Since then, I have worked with clients from all over the world in various industries to build a web presence, rank better in search, and ultimately find their market.
