So, in an attempt to give you a quick overview of who I am and what this blog is going to be about I shall do my best to not duplicate my ‘About’ page. This is my first real shot at a blog, I really never thought I’d have the interest in doing one but then again I never thought I’d get a twitter account either. After setting my wife up with her own blog and seeing how much she enjoyed interacting with people, I’ve finally decided to follow suit.

Ok, so what’s it about?

There are 5 things that I am interested in at the moment and I will more than likely post something about each of them.

• Family
• Web Development
• General technology
• Mountain biking
• Gaming

Family

I have been married to my wife, Morgan (22), for almost 2 years (in September). We recently found out that we’re having a girl, Madelyn Jo, who is due at the end of November, and the two of us are highly stoked. I come from a large-ish family of 2 parents and 3 younger sisters and a large extended family.

Web Development

I run a web development company called Element Web Media with my business partner, Charles. I have been officially working in this arena for 5 years now, and I can’t imagine doing anything else. I am going to focus much of my writing on this subject (PHP, Javascript (jQuery), CSS, (X)HTML and XML). I will probably talk some about design, however, I’ve never considered it one of my strong points so don’t expect much.

General Technology

I’m very much a geek and proud of it. I love doing things like specing/building computers, reading tech sites like Engadget and Ars Technica, talking about how awesome Android is going to be, etc.

Mountain Biking

MTB’ing is something that I’ve gotten into recently. When I found out that my Dad and Uncle had started and from hearing how much fun it was I jumped in and bought a bike. I have to say it is a total blast, everyone that goes with us for the first time is hooked (we have about 9 people right now). I started with the hopes of losing some weight but have only traded some fat for muscle (fine by me). We frequent the Sky Harbor and Squaw Leap areas.

Gaming

Gaming is what originally got me into computers, and I’ve been into it since the ripe old age of 7. I remember playing Police Quest 1 on my dad’s 286 trying to get to the “driving part”. I generally stick to my Xbox 360 as of late, but I have a fondness for MMO’s. There is someone who does not think highly of this particular hobby, and she, my wife, shall remain nameless.

Well that does it for my “short” intro. Hopefully one of the items peaks your interest enough to hit the subscribe link.
