\"headshot\"<\/a> I am a WordPress \/ SEO \/ Social Media \/ IT consultant from Dallas, Texas who loves technology and the internet. If I am not working on a web project, you can find me working in the garden or restoring my old truck. I have been interested in web design for almost ten years. After taking an intro to web design class as a required course for one of my tech degrees, I was hooked. Since then, I have been playing with HTML and CSS mostly as a hobby for almost five years. About two years ago I decided I wanted to learn more about web design and I started taking more classes. I now run Evolutionary Designs<\/a> as way to learn more about online marketing and share more about new media.<\/p>\n

I started working with web design almost ten years ago mostly as a hobby. Then about about four years ago I realized how much I enjoyed web design and I decided to make a career change. So I went back to school only taking a few classes here and there so I could keep working. About two years ago my technical research position was restructured and I was laid-off. After the lay off and spending several months looking for jobs and couldn’t find any, I took up a job as the Director of Sales and Web Design for a small company where I did everything from marketing to hiring contractors to complete design projects I did not have the knowledge to complete or just needed some extra help on a large project. This job was perfect for me. The owner pretty much told me to do what I wanted, work as much as you want or work little as you want. So I took this opportunity to spend more time at school, I took up a part time job and started out with one or two web clients.<\/p>\n

Then in December of 2010 I decided it was time to take Evolutionary Designs to the next level with offering consulting services for WordPress, SEO, social media, and other new media services. I am currently going to school to finish up a degree in web design. While in school, I am working in the telecom industry and offering consulting services. Some of my hobbies include graphic design, photography, and technology. I spend most of my free time working on my freelance website and working as an SEO and Social Media consultant for my personal company. When I am not working on my site and I am out and about, you can usually find me with a camera in my hand shooting something.<\/p>\n

Photography<\/h2>\n

\"Kelowna<\/a> Since I was young, I had an interest in photography throughout middle school and high school, I always had a camera in my hand when I was on a trip. My friends use to joke that I would one day be a professional photographer. But of course, I am not and I stopped taking pictures almost five years. Then about ten years ago, I picked up a Canon SLR camera and started shooting again. Although I love my old SLRs\u00a0 rarely shot with SLR film cameras. I mostly use my Canon Point-n-Shoot and when I have access, I will use a Canon Rebel DSLR.<\/p>\n

I am an enthusiast trying to trying to reach goal of professional. Even if I choose not to be a professional, I will always love photography and take as many pictures as I can.<\/p>\n

Today, I make it habit to carry a point-in-shoot camera or at least have my camera phone available for a quick candid shot or a once in a life time type of shot.<\/p>\n

The Purpose of This Site<\/h2>\n

The purchase of this site is to share some of the pictures I take. This includes photography shoots I do, random pictures I take through life. This photoblog is just that. All images I share on here (as 09\/14\/2012) will have a short description about the image(s) with links (when I create the full article) to the full articles on my personal site<\/a> and full galleries on Flickr<\/a><\/p>\n
