OBJECTIVE            To change the world.


IDEAL JOB            My ideal job has me acting as a "utility infielder" for a
                     not-exactly-mainstream media producer, juggling such tasks
                     as planning information maps, designing interfaces & web 
                     layouts, writing copy, coding HTML & Javascript, and 
                     making obscure Simpsons references. I hate being pigeon-
                     holed; I need variety to stay creative & to be myself.

                     zildjian.com. My tasks included designing web layouts,
                     converting layouts to workable image files, and coding

                     Photoshop, Director, BBEdit, and other software.

                     In the summers of 1997 and 1998 I worked in the web design

                     execution. Worked on a PC running Windows NT.

ADDITIONAL INFO      Normally I don't go around telling people this, but I had
                     800's on two of the three sections of the GRE (my verbal
                     was 650). Granted standardized testing is not indictative
                     of creativity, job performance or much else, but I believe
                     my score demonstrates my ability to learn things quickly.
