My Sites

I first started developing Web sites as a college student back in 1993. What started as a hobby has turned into a career that's grown in leaps and bounds while carrying me along for the roller coaster ride of bumpy growth for the Internet (welcome to the World Wide Web, followed by the dot com boom, then bust, and finally the rebirth).

Here's a sampling of the sites I've created in my spare time for my Web design firm NeuroLogic Designs as well as those I currently manage for my employer, Jupitermedia Corporation.

A+ Flint River Ranch - Premium Health Foods for Pets
A+ Flint River Ranch Premium Pet Foods, Treats, and Products Flint River Ranch (FRR) has developed a line of healthy, oven-baked, premium pet food formulas that cost less to use than competing pet food brands such as Science Diet, Iams, Eukanuba, Purina, Life's Abundance, Wysong, and Nature's Recipe. As you can imagine, I'm completely sold on Flint River Ranch and have fed only FRR foods to my pups and cats for the last four years.

Flint River Ranch's top-ranked wellness natural dog and cat food formulas offer better nutrition and higher quality ingredients, with no meat by-products, rendered meat, hormones, BHA/BHT, fillers, artificial additives, or other nasty stuff you'd be amazed to find in so many of the commercial pet food brands.
