Also, you can try out my custom CSS skin, just make sure to credit me for writing it.

My professions
''For educational purposes only. If you take the time to read this entire section, then I sincerely hope you have had plenty of rest and are equipped with large amounts of chocolate.''

Web developer
Web developer - I own and operate a website and graphics design company. All of my websites are created solely by me and my brain. My program of choice was Windows Notepad, but now I have converted to Notepad++. I prefer to write in the following programming languages; XHTML, CSS3, JavaScript, PHP, and XML. I also know many other languages but the afore mentioned are the ones I use most.

Graphics designer
Graphics designer - Graphics, graphics, graphics! I love to create and inspire. My skills include; web design, logo design, vector graphics, typeface design, heraldic design, photo manipulation, and just about every application involving graphics. My programs of choice are Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop. Those two programs are all you need to create and print on just about anything!

Video game developer
Video game developer - Currently I am developing multiplayer browser games for my website and graphics design company. I cannot begin to describe how much fun it is to design all of the different functions and graphics of a game, so I wont. But I will say that Javascript makes it all happen. I would give up coding if it were not for my beloved language. My programs of choice are again, Notepad++, Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe Photoshop.

Musician
Musician - Music is my life. I have been playing guitar for over 18 years. My weapons of choice are the electric guitar and classical guitar. After three bands, playing all those shows (playing in Las Vegas even), and producing three releases, I have finally come to release my own project. My musical taste consists mainly of the many sub-genres of Heavy Metal. As my musical taste has grown, I have developed a monstrous affinity for medieval, baroque, and gregorian chant music. The only programs I like to use for creating music is Power Tab Editor and Pro Tools.

Record producer
Record producer - I also own and operate a recording studio. Mixing, mastering, engineering, I do it all! My current roster includes a jazz artist who puts a brazilian spin on things. Producing this genre of music has been fun but, the future of my studio lies in Heavy Metal! The only program I use for my studio is Pro Tools and I do not see any future without it!

Luthier
Luthier - Currently I have been developing my new electric guitar company which has been an ongoing project. The endeavor takes serious hard work, time, and of course the cash. This is a project I can hardly contain in secret, and yes, spawned from the ashes, the offspring, the heaviest, and the most distortion friendly guitar tone on planet earth! I like to use Illustrator to make my solid body, neck, fingerboard, and headstock templates. illustrator is also great for determining string spacing.

Electrician
Electrician - Sadly, electricians are a dying breed from where I am standing. Surrounded by surfers, partiers, and disgustingly rich, Ignoramus driven, environmentally hazardous, nature suckers who are all far too busy living the american dream, I hardly know what it is like to have an intellectual conversation with someone, or something other than a computer. By the way, soldering is a skill we should all learn. You may save a life someday with such a useful skill. Consider all the money you could save with the afore mentioned skills, and think of all the electronic devices that wont end up in the landfills because you were able to fix them! Just about every device worth using in my home works, thanks to one of the worlds most important trades.
