I have had a personal website off and on for the past 8 years and it all started back in 2000 when I ruptured my spleen snowboarding at Mount Bachelor. I was in my senior year of high school at the time and was not able to go to school for a week and a half due to the injury. I was sitting around extremely bored and started to play with Yahoo Geocities to build a website. The first website was initially called “Carpe Diem” and highlighted me and my friends partying it up and getting into trouble during our younger days. It actually sparked other friends to start up small and basic websites and being that we were in high school we all used AOL Instant Messenger so it spread like wildfire. The actual web address was www.livetwoparty.com but it is no longer active.

Soon I graduated from high school, forgot to pay the domain dues and the website expired. In college there was a short resurrection of a new website I created based around my fraternity and friends from high school. This website was called Proper Behavior and was at the domain www.properbehavior.com – another website that went under after 2 years.

Soon, I had graduated college and started the career search. I decided to get more serious (more mature) and started a general website based around me and life in general. I realized that unfortunately there comes a time when you have to stop basing everything around partying and friends and I just decided to have a general website. While I still like to have fun and keep in touch with old friends from high school and college, this newest website has a more dignified touch to it ( yeah… right). I am constantly adding new material to the website as I go so hopefully I can keep this thing up to date.

I use Dreamweaver MX to manage my website and right now am going through a web hosting company called Micfo. I used Adobe Photoshop to make many of the graphics for the website and just use the basic Windows Movie Maker to create videos.
