Hi. I was born in the early ’70s. I grew up as a church-going, nerdy bookworm, and so far have become a fiery, creative Jesus-lovin’ web geek. What I will be has yet to be discovered!
(Yeah, I have awesome parents and mentors! Thanks, ya’all!)
Currently self-employed as a full-time homeschool mom and Creative Web Guru, performing browser-defying feats of web design and tilting niche website windmills — making my life an ongoing and challenging adventure! Oh, and did I mention I have delusions of graphic novel grandeur? Well, once those projects are launched, you can decide whether they’re delusions or not. *wink*
I’m way too busy taking over the world to ramble on about myself here. Hopefully, you’ll still get the general idea, and if you really want to know me, you’ll track me down via email, Twitter, Facebook or some other useful, more interactive means of communication.
