This Website Has Secrets

There's an easter egg hidden somewhere on this site. Can you find it?

It's a throwback to a hidden message I included in my first few websites. In 5th grade my dad handed me a copy of some website editing software. Web design has been a creative outlet since.

One of the reasons why I blog and keep this site up is to collaborate with folks.

I regularly publish poems and random things with a creative commons license in the spirit of creative collaboration. If you see something that you want to work with, run with it. Let's create something.

Stuck? Here are some creative ways to tell stories online:

Thanks, Sitemason

After three great years, today is my last day at Sitemason. Next week I’ll be working alongside the team at Raven Internet Marketing Tools.

A Word About Sitemason

(Here I am with Team Sitemason wearing a fake bowtie. I’ve grown a lot as a person since this photo was taken.)

It’s not fully accurate to say I’ve worked with Sitemason for three years.

In high school I interned at Sitemason. Each week over pizza, we’d ask leaders at Sitemason and Centresource about the Internet.

This was one of the places I developed a love for the fast-moving and hidden parts of the web. Sitemason’s roots run deep in this emerging tech town. In fact, they brought the Internet here.

Now they’re leading the charge in content management for the mobile web.

At Belmont University, I ran a web design business. I was a one-man shop and had strengths in design and project management. I needed a technical partner. I began to partner with Sitemason as they do with so many web and marketing firms today. I recommend you partner with them as a partner or client if you have the chance as well.

After partnering with them, I jumped at the chance to join their team. I worked for them part-time till I graduated and then I became a full-time team member.

Only till I joined Sitemason did I have a place to to sit across from  fellow entrepreneurs and daily start things under the same banner.

I’m incredibly grateful for, among many things, one of the greatest lessons Sitemason taught me: Develop trust among your team and the job gets done sooner.

Next Steps

This week I’m technically unemployed, hanging out in a cabin, and doing some writing. My goal is to reboot and be bushy-tailed and ready for what’s next.

For the better part of my mornings it’ll be my routine to create worlds and wield just enough power to dictate my character’s next steps.

By next week, I’ll be fully ready some next steps of my own as a user support specialist at Raven. See everyone next week!
