: About Me

I have a general background in starting and running a number of successful businesses over a period of 35 years. The secret is to enjoy doing it. The problem is to keep from being bored.

I also have a true love of computers and specifically web design - both digital and vector graphics. I get a kick out of being creative with Photoshop, Flash, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Free Hand, Illustrator, Corel Suites, Publisher, Painter, Bryce and Poser.(And now I am ithe process of learning Joomla). I love it when a client says be as creative as you want...

I am comfortable using HTML, JavaScript, PHP, CSS, XML, VB.net and most code. My website for graphics work is Http://www.ChipPuppy.com and I work mostly on Windows and Linux systems.

I also have a number of computer Networking certifications and technical degrees. Been fixing and hooking up computers since the early days of DOS and Windows 3.11.

For fun I play chess, online poker and write about a wide diversity of things.
