I was responsible for the upkeep of the Williamson County Public Library website (http://lib.williamson-tn.org) from April of 2005 until August of 2006. I did not design the site, but I did maintain it and add new pages to it as needed. I am no longer responsible for this site.

I was responsible for the design and upkeep of the Robert F. Woodall Elementary school website. I was responsible for this site from May of 2003 until June of 2008. It has now moved to a new content management system. You can find the old site using the Internet Archive Wayback Machine

I was responsible for the design and upkeep of the Robertson County Teachers’ Center website from May of 2003 until April of 2006.
