My name is Paul and I grew up in New Mexico. I have studied art and photography at the University of New Mexico and sculpture and design at the Museum of Fine Arts School in Houston Texas. For quite a few years after school I worked as a jeweler doing custom design as well as production gold work . Then my life took a turn and since 1997 I've been employed as a chemical dependency counselor.
In the early 1990's I was introduced to the internet by the 12 year old son of a friend and found out you could write and publish stuff online in a matter of a couple of hours and I was hooked. I spent most of my spare time working on some humor websites but during those years I did learn a lot about HTML coding and the use of perl programs and java scripting. (If you don't know what any of that means don't worry... that's why you're here.)
Now I live in Roseburg Oregon with my wife and and our animals and still work as a substance abuse counselor and design websites in my off hours. As I get closer to retirement (2014 I'm hoping) I am looking forward to doing more of it and hopefully generating a little extra income. The point is I am not a large faceless corporation, and I pride myself on the fact that I can actually provide PERSONAL service to my customers.
