Writing, drawing, painting, dancing, singing, sewing, knitting, and jigsaw puzzles are among the many activities occupying my free time and please me greatly. However, website designing and building was an activity I gave freely of my time and efforts for the beneift of a several friends.

Designing and creating this website was done at the command of my boss in 2003. He wanted me to learn HTML because I was their software technical writer, and he felt it was important. It was indeed a major learning experience!

Later, in addition to this webiste, I also designed and built a total of nine separate websites for J. Manuel Herrera, a school board member for the East Side Union High School District in San Jose, CA. Each of those websites were for his various political and personal ambitions.

After organizing a fundraiser for young adult leaders of the Colombian Children's Peace Movement in 2007, I also created a website to honor those leaders. They were phenomenal kids (now adults) with an amazing vision.

I also designed a website for a friend, who is a well-known opera singer, vocal teacher, and voice coach in the South Peninsula area, Rachel Michelberg.
