About

I am a Software Engineer with a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering.  I received my degree from Tri-State University, in Angola, IN.

Since I graduated, I have been working in Toledo, Ohio, at a company that develops automation controllers and tonnage monitoring devices for stamping presses.  While working there, I have gained the majority of my experience programming in C++, C application languages.  I also am lead developer in charge of designing, developing, and maintaining the company’s website.  The website was built using HTML, CSS, MySQL and PHP.

In my free time I enjoy working on my own network of websites.  I built a content management system for writers.  This site is called the Informative Post and has grown exponentially since it was first launched in October of 2007.  The Informative Post is written in PHP using the Zend Framework and MySQL for the database needs.

I also have developed and currently maintain a few sites that focus on affiliate marketing of certain niches.  These sites were also done with PHP.

Obviously, I am a huge evangelist of the PHP programming language, which brings me to this site.  I decided to create this site to build a community of PHP users like myself to bounce ideas off and to help eventually troubleshoot each other’s bugs.
