About Jason Hendricks

Just to give you a brief summary of where I’m coming from and why I hope the information I have to share is useful to you, I’ve been designing, marketing, and operating websites online since 1998. For the really, really, long version please continue reading.

I, like many others, remember every detail about my first computer growing up. A commodore 64 that was a hand-me-down from my older brother. It was big, heavy, and made a lot of noise. I quickly learned some basic programming skills (a language called REXX) because in these days, you needed to know commands just to run an application (for anyone that owned a C64, LOAD “*”,8,1 to you). I continued learning about computers including Macintosh systems throughout high school and eventually graduated to 486 and intel-based PCs. After majoring in Computer Information Systems at Devry Institute of Technology, I began developing websites as a hobby in 1998 while studying to earn my Microsoft Systems Engineer certification. At the time I was a network administrator for a well-known credit card company and while I was excited that I would soon earn my MCSE (and two other certifications), I couldn’t figure out why I was so miserable providing desktop support to users during the day but so happy teaching myself web design at night. Web design didn’t feel like work to me, it felt like a very relaxing activity to take my mind off of the many headache-inducing annoyances of the day (if you’ve ever provided computer support, you know what I mean).

Suddenly it dawned on me (it seems so obvious now, but to my credit I was only 21) that the web was all that I cared about. I would spend hours and hours reviewing and reverse-engineering every site I came across (a really effective learning method to increase my HTML and programming knowledge in a short period of time) as well as reading the many books I purchased about web design. I knew I needed a career change.
