David Dowell

David Dowell

A lifelong tech enthusiast, my brothers and I set up one of the first private hardwired LANs in 1996 on Okinawa to play WarCraft and Conquest of the New World. I then dual majored in Microbiology and Psychology, before deciding even more classes and lab time weren't my cup of joe, slowly meandering my way into website creation. I now build websites of all sizes and purposes while keeping up to date with the latest tech trends and doing my best to traipse around while doing so.
