i started doing internet consultancy in 2005 with the new york times bestselling author and podcaster scott sigler. At that time i was still involved in podcasting with my popular podcast "geek talk live". I podcasted for about a year before stopping production to move onto other things. from there i went onto doing a lot of random jobs for podcasters such as michael butler from the rock and roll geek show and joe d'eon from fly with me and fly with me x. also at around this time i took control of the extremely successful teen podcasters network. with the site i built out a full network of media companies aimed at generation Y. the sites included the teen vidcasters network, teen bloggers network and the umbrella company of all of them teen media productions. teen media productions has continued to flourish even though i am no longer involved in it. during my time at the TPN i learned PHP and MySQL and added them to my previous languages of html and css. i also started to experiment with linux and servers. around this time i got my biggest job to date. the full creation of a community based site for scott sigler. as of this writing the site is very close to 4000 users and millions of page views. since that time (august 2007) i have been working a lot on both new and old clients. i mainly try to get work from craigslist for php work but also accept jobs from this site. i am a big user of social networking and web2.0 sites such as twitter, facebook, myspace, brightkite and digg. as a teen i can offer a different perspective of the social networking scene as seen by gen Y
