Seatoad.net ~

This site is designed to be a catalog of my professional work and personal interests. Also a place where I can play and experiment with web technologies. The plan is to grow it over time. Subdomains allow me to keep the content organized and segmented, yet bound together as a body of related material. For the couple of subdomains currently active I've used Wordpress as it's pretty good for written content. (For anyone wondering, I did not use Wordpress Multisite because of its limited subdomain support.)

I am a writer of content both technical and non-technical, a web developer, business analyst, GUI designer, and editor. I've also stocked shelves, delivered pizzas, washed dishes, tended bar, worked in factories and call centers, taught college English, and painted houses. Originally from Pennsylvania, I live in coastal Massachusetts with my children Sarah and Ben.

I am passionate about authoring, web design, and fly fishing. When I'm not doing one of those I may be boating, gardening, cooking, or just trying to create a little art every day.

I am the chair of the Nahant MA School Committee. I coach kids' baseball and football. I'm a Trustee and Recording Secretary of the Point of Pines Yacht Club in Revere, MA.

A few other web sites I've developed:

jackgartside.com (fly fishing articles and e-commerce)

stonehamboat.com (marina and boat dealer)
