Resumé
Summary
I'm an efficient and prolific web developer with twelve years of experience in web design and development. This experience gives me a complete understanding of the website creation process: UI design, front-end development, and back-end development. I'm a tenacious problem solver with focused attention to detail. I work well and communicate effectively in a team environment but my strong self-motivation means I can also get the job done solo.

Brad currently lives in Los Angeles, CA where he resides with his strong work ethic, timely delivery, and knack for precision craftsmanship.
About This Site
This site was written in Actionscript 3 classes with FlashDevelop 3 for Windows, compiled with the Flash CS3 IDE. SWFAddress Javascript/AS3 libraries are utilized for browser history and deep linking. XML data is used for all image and text content as well as navigation heirarchy. Behind the Flash is PHP parsing the XML data to render XHTML SEO content for crawlers.
