Dude, we're old.

About Me

News Alert: Jimmy is here and he is perfect. My son is one chilled out little baby. Anna is doing great and we will be home on saturday.
Well, after my very memorable experience in high school at bay high in the glorious town of Panama City. I went with a few friends to my first college in St. Louis, to play football. It turns out hell has a new name, Lindenwood University. Daily I experienced heartburn first hand, from the cafeteria.
After that “experience” I looked for a warmer climate. I transferred to University of Alabama in Birmingham, where I played football. I enjoyed myself there besides football and school. After playing a few years, yes actually playing, I decided I would like to learn to read, write and start going to class. Footnote: As you can tell I am still working on mastering this whole grammar thing. So I then transferred to Gainesville, Florida.
I took my new fiancé (Anna) to Gainesville; there I learn a few things. Like peeing on the toilet seat is bad and school is fun if your major is something you enjoy and you don't play football all day, everyday. I was given job about a month before I graduated, because I lied on my resume…and I was off…back to Birmingham with my new wife (yes she stuck around)! I was making money and doing big things with my new employer (a graphic design company where I headed the internet department).
I worked for "the man" for about a year…its was time to venture out with my own web development company. I started my company in Nov. 2005, through all the ups and downs its been fun and a bit scary. my company site My wife has since started her own statewide dental staffing firm in Oct. 2005 and her company is rock'n. her company site We are stressed but happy and enjoying every minute of it. I have the greatest business partner - best friend and most beautiful wife in the world and I wouldn’t trade my life with anyone.
Here is my wife, Anna's site - click here..
