_{Web Designer/Developer & SEO Specialist}

_{Started my own web design company utilizing what had been a hobby for me up to that point. Started very strong, hired   two full-time developers and a part-time sales person. We unfortunately undersold our work and ended up working 7 days a week, 16 – 18 hour days so I wanted something more stable and manageable. It was a great experience though and I wouldn’t change it for the world.}
