Well…it’s finally here! 2008 is in the books and we are moving on and up (hopefully). I don’t know about you guys, but I was sick and tired of 2008 and all of the bad news it brought along with it. The news of the markets crashing, home values dropping and the handout of 700 billion dollars to every greedy corporation in America were just a few of the terrible issues in 2008. However, I for one didn’t have a bad year overall. I started this GrandmasterB in March of last year and it has brought me a fair amount of success, friends and even taught me a few things that I didn’t know before. If it wasn’t for GrandmasterB dot com, I would probably be wasting hours upon hours on video games and watching TV; instead of honing my design skills and trying to build my blogging empire. Last year I also left my crappy job at Verizon Business for greener pastures with the MountainWest Sports Network. The network has really grown in the year that I have been there and it will continue to be successful in the future with all of the success the conference has seen this bowl season. 2009 is looking to be a fantastic and very busy year for GrandmasterB!

WEB DESIGN AND BUILDING A BUSINESS

Since the inception of GrandmasterB dot com, I have constantly pushed myself to develope and fine tune my design skills and used them to create some really good work (in my opinion). I created a new blog for a Reggae DJ, a clothing company in Vail, Colorado called Arriesgado Clothing, I revamped Cuzoogle, brought in a fresh new look for SteadyBurn (with the help of my new business partner…more on that later) and created a stunning header design for The Blaze of Love. All of that I did towards the end of the year…and trust me there’s more on the way! I am really pushing to take this site and my design work to new heights in 2009 and I’m already working out ideas and concepts for an upgrade of the site.
