It all started in 1998 when I became interested in James Dean, and traveled to his hometown in Fairmount, Indiana. I began a website (now long gone) called FindingFairmount.com, and worked on a primitive “website builder” program to begin a lifelong learning journey.
Wanting to further improve my website, I learned basic HTML and then decided to take the dive into some newer software called “Microsoft Frontpage,” which then piloted me into more “professional designs.”
UndergroundLou.com was an Internet radio station that I started with a friend, in order to promote local musical talent in Louisville, Kentucky. The site was popular, getting media attention, and rave reviews from various audiences – including local musicians, fans, and venues who were having trouble reaching their various target audiences. UndergroundLou.com signed off the air for good in 2004, as I decided to focus more on the professional music industry – and took on additional responsibility with Universal Records South.
Through my relationship with Universal South in Nashville, and my dedicated attention to promoting their artists – I developed additional skills, and met many challenges that allowed me to grow. Below are screenshots of websites that I have created, and then a list of links that you can visit to check them out LIVE online.
