I prefer to think of myself a motivated, outgoing, open-minded individual; but don’t be fooled, I’m a computer nerd at heart. On December 18, 2010 I graduated from East Stroudsburg University with Bachelor of Science degrees in Computer Science and Computer Security, in addition to a concentration in Mathematics. I discovered my passion and creativity for the web at the age of eight. Since then I have started a web development/internet marketing company (http://housermedia.com), built a proprietary Content Management System (http://thelastcms.com), and developed the first-ever Automatic Search Engine Optimization Tool (http://optimizebot.com). While self employment is great, I am always open to new opportunities. If you want to get to know me better feel free to contact me at your convenience. Below is a copy of my most current resume, or you can download it here.
