I'm a rather serious and shy person, but I can be quite animated once I get to know someone.

I have a lot of knowledge to share with people on usability, online marketing, website design (especially WordPress, but can help with any content management system), html/css, graphic design (logos, branding, printed materials).

In a nutshell, if you have any sort of business or cause that you're trying to build an online presence for (and look good doing it) I can definitely help you out. Let's sit down and have an hour-long discussion about your goals and needs.

In addition to sharing practical knowledge, I'm also interested in philosophical discussions about life, religion, and politics. I want get to know people, understand their perspectives, and become a better conversationalist.

Finally, I can't leave out a mention for one of my favorite hobbies, making music! I've been a lifelong student of music on various instruments: piano, clarinet, harp, ukulele, and I just fished out an electric guitar out of a dumpster the other day... so maybe there's something there too? I consider myself to be most proficient on the harp.

As an aside, I am hearing impaired and I have some self-consciousness of my "accent" when I first meet people. I prefer face-to-face interactions because i depend a lot on lip reading but manage just fine over the phone.
