About Me
I've worked in the web development and design field in one capacity or another for going on eight years, yet I've managed to successfully avoid maintaining my own site for some time. I started as a developer working with ASP in a Microsoft shop (CQL Inc.) but I migrated more to the client/people side of web projects about the time .NET rolled out. Maybe it was a way to avoid learning something new, but I prefer to think that it was where my talents more naturally fit.
After an exciting stint with CQL I decided to jump ship and take a position with my alma mater, Grand Valley State University. I currently perform a sundry list of tasks for the Web Team at GVSU, but most notably my role as project coordinator revolves around project management of an ever-growing list of custom web applications. You'd be amazed by the projects this small team produces!
Somewhere in the midst of all this I was able to earn a master's degree in Information Systems Management from Ferris State University. I'm not sure what exactly that buys me, but it was a fair amount of work and a big accomplishment. as the saying goes... "The cobbler always wears the worst shoes." I am often too busy helping other with thier sites that mine is left unkept. If you're looking for more info or if I can help with your site, email me here: ben@benrapin.com.
