Welcome to Badassride.com  

Welcome to my new website.  I have been doing web development for 15 years now, and I feel I have found the ultimate portal website for website design.  What you are looking at is an open source framework called DotNetNuke.  DNN as I call it has transformed how I write web applications.  No longer will I be designing a base framework for every different website I create. This framework I will use for the base of all my projects until I find something better.

Anyhow, a little about me:

I was born in the Silver state in this little town called Las Vegas.  I am obsessed with software development and building rich web software applications.

I would have to say that my career started at a company called SmartConnect.  At SmartConnect, we had a team of players that stuck together and worked hard to produce what I would feel was one of the first Digital Surveillance Systems on the market.  Being a small business, it was hard to stay on top, but we learned fast and produced a lot for just two key developers.

At SmartConnect, I met two people that would eventually become business partners in other ventures.  Henry Valentino III and Jeremiah Morrill.  Henry was the owner of SmartConnect (before its hostel takeover) and provided great guidance throughout our times at SmartConnect. Learning from him and his past experience, I really started to understand what I wanted to do with my career.  Jeremiah, one of my best friends, is just one of those kind of guys that just knows so much.   Jeremiah understand programming concepts that most people would have no idea what the heck he is talking about.  Jer is a great teacher and is always staying ahead of the curve.

Aprils Wedding RingI recently proposed to my girlfriend (now fiancé) April Murphy.  April and I have been working our lives together for the last 2.5 years, and during that time I realized that she is not only my best friend, but a truly great person to be with and spend the rest of my life with.  April and I spend much of our time playing jokes on each other, cuddling and watching DVDs (and HDDVDs), and going to nearly every movie that comes out.  She is a movie quote kind of girl and can recognize phrases and tie them to movies faster then anyone I have ever met. I have to admit, she is WAY past me with movies, but I think I keep up quite well.

I currently am running a Web Hosting company in Reno Nevada called American Internet (AMHosting, LLC).  I have a great team with people who want to work hard for me. 

More to come.. but need to finish the rest of this site.
