Some call me a jack of all trades. It might be true. The freelance lifestyle is decidedly where I belong. Moving project to project doing good deeds and helping out whenever I can. Currently I am looking for more web design work.
If I had to give a defining characteristic to make you want to hire me I'd have to say that I have an overactive work ethic. I get things done. Frequently, I get things done with a vengeance. Workaholism runs in my family and I inherited my fair portion of it.
Most potential employers get the condensed version of the resume. I send them something nice and neat and all fitting, well-formatted onto a single page. However, you're here, which means you presumably want a little more detail about what I have done. It should be noted that the nature of freelance is to move from job to job. I've never been fired and rarely quit from any job until it was completed to the employer's satisfaction.
Please e-mail me with any questions about me, my rates, or my availability. Alternatively, you can reach me on my cell phone at six four six - two four six - eight four zero three (keeping the spambots and spiders out of the loop, I hope).
