Why am I a good choice for you and your website needs?

Website co-creation. Since 1997, I have been asked to build websites outside of any other traditional employment. Projects are chosen with care. Each one brings a new learning or skill.
This works in your favor because, as a result of these choices, I have many skills, am solution oriented, and creative. I understand the struggle of birthing something new, and the importance of building relationships with experts. When you choose me, you also choose life experience and connections to all sorts of resources.
Experience
10 years of self-employment. A few of the skills acquired include: Writing newsletters and blogging. Design orientation. Moved from building traditional HTML websites to WordPress and recently the Genesis Framework. Managing all facets of self-employment including advertising, marketing, billing, scheduling, time-management etc. Coaching and consulting.
10 years in the telecommunications industry in Corporate America: Ameritech, SBC, AT&T. Computer programming and internal websites with database backends. PHP & MySql. Little did I know this would be a natural lead in to using WordPress for both websites and blogging.
14 years radio broadcasting. Announcing gigs, copywriting, radio spots and voice overs. Comfort in getting a message across. Often I find myself editing content that is sketched out or not worded well… with permission and feedback, of course. Today I write a regular newsletter and blog, and am working toward publishing articles in magazines or journals.
More personal…

In 2007 my life began a slow and complete structural change. In a sense, one might see it as a rebirth. I left a successful career as a computer programmer and manager in the telecommunications industry in the U.S. where my team and I built websites and databases for functional use in internal organizations. I journeyed to Canada. A process of unraveling and letting go of a comfortable way of life began along with building a new way of being in the world. There were physical, emotional, financial and spiritual changes. During a particularly challenging time, a wise man told me not to forget about my past skills, which I might use to create a bit more security for myself in the process of supporting others as they venture onto new paths. Thus continuing with updating web construction skills.
As a dual citizen my world has opened up and I can support clients in the U.S. and Canada.
My focus is on personal service, getting a clear message across in an easy to understand way through the form of a website. My ideal experience is in co-creation with, for example, the entrepreneur, the self-employed, small businesses, social organizations and people, like me, who are reinventing themselves in whatever fashion that means in the Present moment.
Loves…
Seeing others empowered to fulfill their dreams. Art and especially painting. Reading. The divine and symbolic language of astrology. The natural beauty of where I live. Simple pleasures. My friends and family.
