YES, I AM A LITTLE ODD...

Thank you for noticing.

Anyway, my name is Charlie. I was born in Canada but experienced my entire childhood and more in China where I stayed until graduating high school in 2012. After my studies in Boston, I found myself living the Mile High City that is Denver.

Although I acquired a BFA in Graphic Design, I became enthralled with web development (as a result of a very basic HTML/CSS course that I took years back). Now I spend my days combining the two disciplines in creating websites for those who seek it! Oh, and I love doing what I do!

When I'm not having fun with work, you'll likely find me out there in the world playing rugby, jamming on my guitar or piano, climbing things, or face‑down in the middle of the road.

Don't worry, I'm being facetious... but I won't say about which part.

WHERE HAVE I WORKED? GOOD QUESTION.
