Business Background:

My name is Justin House, I live in Fort Collins, CO and I’ve been on the web since about 1993 and creating web sites consistently since 1996. My very first few clients were all real estate agents, but then I started building sites for all different industries and needs, of all different styles, from edgy to elegant. Now I’m back to focusing exclusively on real estate agents and brokers so I could specialize in one area and thus be a great resource to my clients. I absolutely love what I do!

Probably my favorite thing to do is come up with the main look of the web site. This is so fun. I get ideas from all sorts of things, such as cars, brief cases, water bottles, chairs, sometimes other web sites. I work with WordPress, Drupal, and other free Content Management Systems (CMS) and try my best to avoid proprietary systems. The reason I choose to work with these free, open-source solutions, is that they’re are generally thousands and thousands of people around the globe that contribute to these systems on a daily basis, making them better and better for all. With a proprietary system, there’s generally just one person, maybe a few, that invest their time to make it better. I don’t know about you, but I’d rather deal with something solidfied by thousands of solid programmers than a handful.

Personal Background:

When I’m not creating real estate web sites, I’m at the skatepark showing up the kids. Actually, they’re showing me up, but I’m finally starting to get some hoots and hollers from them now, which is really cool, especially since I’m 39 years young.

Another huge passion of mine is DJ’ing, namely skratching and all that turntablism stuff. I’ve spent a wealth of time developing this skill, from 1-3 hours a day, sometimes up to 11 hours. No joke. I have a huge passion to progress.

Lastly, and ironically first in my life, is my focus on God. I put Him first in everything and it’s awesome. It’s definitely challenging, but absolutely rewarding. I’m not perfect by any stretch, however, He’s doing some amazing development with my character, which seems to be working more and more. I love it! The biggest change He’s made in me is my thirst to serve others, instead of just serving myself. Now I feel like I’m really living and have life!

All and all, I try and live a very simple, yet effective life style so I can be successful in the few endeavors I pursue.

That’s about it. Thanks for reading and taking an interest in my life. Much appreciated!
