Rick My Story
I was very lucky to be born and raised in sunny Southern California. I grew up wailing on the guitar in Hollywood in the morning and riding the waves on a boogie board in the evening.
Once I graduated high school, I left Los Angeles, moving to North Dakota where I attended flight school. It was in North Dakota that I discovered that I do not like cold weather. Being from the west coast, I decided to head off to beautiful North Carolina where I met my wife and had my 3 amazing children. Shortly after, I earned my degree in Web Technologies and it was a perfect fit.
My attention to detail and unwillingness to succumb to defeat drives me to remain on the cutting edge of technology. I pride myself on coding clean, logical HTML, PHP and CSS. I am passionate about Drupal development, responsive design, usability and work-flow. I specialize with working with government agencies as a contractor as well as a senior developer for many small to midsize businesses.
I currently stay busy as a Drupal Devloper for IQ Solutions as well as run my own company Rick Zebra Designs. I have spent a large portion of my professional career being the only developer for multiple websites. This has lead me to being quite versatile in full stack development on a variety of platforms.
When I am not being a website building machine, I love to spend time outside with my family. We are lovers of the OBX and try to hit the beach a few times a year. I have recently feel in love with Kayak fishing so that is my newest endeavor to Conquer.
