My Experience
Managing Director
Chief Technical Officer
The Web Squeeze, LLC.
March 2008 - Present
In search of new frontiers, I started a new forum in 2008. Along with two excellent developers, and friends, Karinne Legault and Linda Chadbourne, together we founded The Web Squeeze, LLC. Why? Because we needed to slave away for countless hours on a project that brings in little money but has loads of raw potential. We needed the challenge. We needed the experience of starting from scratch and building a web world! So, step aside Sim City. This is the real deal, and it's GREAT!

About The Webforumz Years
I have been active on the web front for several years. For four years I was a member of Webforumz. I was lead administrator and manager, coaching the forum to higher levels of success. During my tenure there, I expanded the forum by creating a monthly newsletter, Creative Coding, which reached over 15 thousand members. I served as editor-in-chief, and pulled together a dedicated team of web designers to assist in this effort. As administrator, I reorganized and formed a "team leadership" concept. I kept the forum on track, settling all the riots and arguments that inevitably happen within a web community. I handled support requests, fixed problems, installed modifications, staved off plagiarized forums and handled a thousand other details to help the forum continue to grow. I was amazing-if I do say so myself!
