Born 1980 at Independence Regional Health Center, formerly known as The Independence Sanitarium, and yes I am crazy (according to most). Spent a short time in Ruskin Missouri then moved to Centerview Missouri (a very small town in the middle of the state) when I was 8. My parent’s separated when I was 13, and then spent half of my childhood in Raytown Missouri and the other on the farm in Centerview. I graduated from Raytown South High School on December 18, 1999. From there I joined the Navy but only stayed for a short time.

I have worked in many jobs such as Boston Market (5yrs), Pappi’s Pizza (10yrs off and on), Shamrock Cabinets, John Knox Village in Lee’s Summit Missouri (5yrs), Plain Talk Media (1yr) and Rooms To Go (6yrs).

I went to University of Phoenix to obtain my associates in business and administration. 2 years later I stated at DeVry to learn computer programming. As I was studing at a local bar a friend approached and asked if I was interested in helping him create a new Party Booking site, SimpleParty.com. I eagerly accepted and from then on I have been creating and developing ever since.

Web Design and Development has been my passion ever since. I would like to give a special thanks to Greg Maxon, my boss at John Knox Village, who encouraged me to look into computers because he saw talent where I did not. To Cory Tripp who built my fist computer for me when I was 24 for helping him switch out his engine in his Dodge Neon over a weekend. To Troy Lentz (aka Batman) who showed and help with my first web developing position at Plain Talk Media. And last but not least to Amy Labay who encouraged me and was behind me the whole way.
