High school is the last school I attended. I worked my ass off and my resume speaks for my lack of formal education. My primary focus is web development in PHP but i'm more of a catch all type guy. I can open a remote office, wire a security system, build a website, etc... I've worked for mom and pop shops, i've worked for 500+ seat call centers. I'm 33 years old.

BS of Information Technology focusing in Network Admin and Telcom. If I had it to do over again it would have been BS of IT software Development or majored in Information Systems.

I've been very alone to be a double with Computer Science and English literature, albeit minor.

I'm a college dropout who majored in Acting at a major university - that's always a fun one to explain to people.
