ello and welcome to my site. This is
version 3 of my Web site. The first
version of this site, which was over
6 years ago, was basically an experiment
in the HTML language. This site makes
use of Cascading Style Sheets and JavaScript
so you will need a browser that can
handle these features in order to experience
this site to its fullest. Since this
site has just recently been redesigned,
there may be some errors and bugs. If
you come across a problem, please email
me and I'll have it fixed ASAP.
And now, a little information about
myself...
Education
In case you haven't noticed, my name
is Jeff. I'm a class of '99 graduate
of Ulster County Community College
with an Associates Degree in Computer
Information Systems--Microcomputers
In Business.
Career
After graduating, I was offered a
job at a web design/print design company.
I worked there for about 3 and a half
years before leaving in December of
2002. While there, I was able to learn
about the many different skills involved
in the web design & development
field. I am fluent in the languages
of HTML, Active Server Pages (ASP),
ColdFusion and Cascading Style Shees
(CSS). In the future, I hope to increase
my knowledge about JavaScript and
Flash and learn XHTML, XML and PHP.
I'm currently taking steps to start
my own business in the Web Design
& Development field. Please feel
free to visit J.T.S. Design, Inc. at http://www.jtsdesign.com
to learn more about my company's services
and to view my portfolio.
Hobbies
My hobbies include playing pool, camping,
researching my family tree and reading,
but my all-time favorite hobby is
music and the guitar. I've been playing
guitar since the fall of '94 and I
still feel that I have a long way
to go. I mainly play rhythm guitar
but I've been trying to pick up more
leads. I've never been in a band and
find it hard enough just to find someone
to jam with since there are only a
few people that I know that actually
play.
I play many different styles of music
including Classic Rock, Alternative,
Metal and some Blues. At one point,
I tried learning how to play Flamenco/Classical
guitar, but that turned out to be
fairly difficult. Some of my influences
include Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Metallica,
Black Sabbath w/Ozzy, and Pantera.
I currently own 5 guitars. The newest
guitar that I own is a semi-hollow
body '69 reissue Fender Telecaster
Thinline. It has a natural wood finish
with a pearl pick guard. My favorite
guitar is my Fender Stratocaster which
has a maroon finish with a black pick
guard. I also own an Epiphone Les
Paul with a sunburst pattern, a teal
Ibanez RG-270 with a Floyd Rose tremelo
bar and an Acoustic/Electric Seagull
guitar. I currently use a Peavey Transfx
208s amp with a built-in effects processor.
I also own a black Ibanez TR-70 4-string
bass, a Yamaha PRS-630 keyboard and
a mandolin. Unfortunately, I haven't
had the time to truly learn how to
play these instruments but hope to
learn more in the future.
