Web Solutions Architect. I am the developer of this site. I like music, the beach, working out, and technology. And I really like helping people make money by building their website (no joke!). I´ve been constructing sites for small to medium-sized businesses for 15 years, and I've also outsourced other developers to help me. I believe in the enormous potential of the Internet to serve customers in web design all over the world... Anything else? Just ask!
