Personal History

Well for those of you that know me, I am a driven talented individual who tries to live life to the fullest!  I have a Harley Davidson V-Rod, custom painted by my talented friends out at "Alter Ego  Custom Paint and Designs" she is named "Sephira" after the Blue Dragon in Eragon the movie and books.  "Sephira" means "Goddess of War" in Celtic.  She is a beautiful ride on a nice day into work.  (Yes I can carry my lapop in a backpack!)  I love my motorcycle, Jay, out at Alter Ego did a awesome job painting the dragon on the air intake (usually where the gastank is for a traditional Harley, mine was designed by Porche and is of the first line of Water Cooled Engines and is therefore faster than any of the taditional models of Harley Davidson's up to date).  The tail and the tips of Sephira's wings grace her rear fender.  Jay, again, props for how detailed you went on air brushing each scale and crack into the design!  I built Jay and his partner a website to do the paint, and they have since closed or I would provide the link here.  Here is a link to pictures of the bike.
Faith Warren I am an avid and vocal supporter of BACA (Biker's Against Child Abuse) an organization that adopts children to empower abused kids. We use the biker image created by the media to give the kids a sense of brotherhood and a family that can go to court with them when their parents, often called as witnesses, can't be there. We aren't your usual bunch of bikers, we help kids on our days off and nights and weekends offering them support and encouragment when that is sometimes something not readily available. The bikers in the group are CIO's and IT Admins, Robotics Engineers, even Physicists. I had one of the members tell me his brother who was a priest said, "He had seen people talk about helping people and the good karma that puts out there, but with BACA they really do it, they are hands on." We really are, I like to think of every BACA member as living angels, we do what we can, and we spend our time making a difference in a kids life!
I don't have kids myself, my children are my two Italian Greyhounds (Miniature Greyhounds) that I rescued from the Italian Greyhound Rescue Society, and two African Grey parrots who hate my husband with bloody beaks and all! I think the feelings are mutual between the birds and James, my husband.
I have been called the ultimate artist by friends who know me well, I sing, write poetry, paint, draw, and design really impressive websites. I think websites are my greatest talent so far. I feel lucky to have found something to do for a living that I enjoy so much, it is infectious. Grumpy programmers that usually don't let people stick their fingers into their code come to me smiling saying I improved their websites and their code.  I enjoy what I do, and it shows in my work and in my life.  I am lucky to have found something to do that lets me use my psychology background and my artist's eye.  I like to believe it takes both of these things (including an engineering degree) to get these sites worked out sometimes.  But it is a challenge  I fully enjoy!

I was born in Dallas, TX, but at a young age my mother moved me to California where I stayed until I was in Junior High. I moved to Oklahoma to get to know my father sometime in my Junior High to High School years. I stayed with him for a while before moving to Texas to stay with my Grandparents to help them while my Grandmother was sick with Cancer, by then my mother had moved to Georgia. Once my Grandmother died I moved to Georgia where I went to High School in Marietta. After High School I attended GA State, and got a scholorship to UMBC in Baltimore Maryland. While in Baltimore my mother took a turn for the worse and I moved back to Texas, dropping out of Medical School. I have been here in Texas ever since, building websites, of all things.

Building websites has enabled me to travel extensively within the United States. I have been to Chicago, to work on Grant Thornton's website, New York to work on Fox Business News, Washington DC to work on the American Red Cross Website! Even sunny California and Florida, so I have seen both coasts, and I love to travel! I took alot of pictures while traveling, you can go to my Facebook page to see them. You can see I made alot of friends along the way. One of my mentors and an old boss Adam Doti told me that I had never met a stranger, and I hope I never do. I enjoy meeting new people and working together towards a common goal.  I have a very open personality and fit into any team environment.  I have worked with engineers, scientists, and accountants who provided requirements, even doctors, lawyers and BOY SCOUTS!  I have run the gamut and feel I can fit in pretty much anywhere.

I started building websites in Georgia when I created a website for my boyfriend's Iron Maiden cover band, and my boss at the time saw it and asked me to make one with less skulls and flames for his company. From there my web development skills blossomed, word got around and I was soon building websites for all kinds of small companies in Georgia. I picked up web development once I moved back to Texas when I was looking after my mother, and used it as an extra means of funds during my college days. To this day I build websites and think it is one of the most gratifying jobs out there. When you show people your work and they ask if you built it and they say "I wish I could do that" you know you have done something good.
"I like what I do, and I do it for the creative outlet. A well thought out solution that is thought provoking and is tailored to make a company not only sell product, but streamline the processes involved, is a work of art." - Faith Warren
