About Us : Our Staff - Michael Bean

My name is Michael Bean and I was born in Orlando, FL. I lived there till June 2001 when I moved to Tennessee and I have lived here since. I am still kind of homesick for Florida sometimes but Tennessee is a nice place to live. I currently go to High School where I am a Junior.  I've been using computers since kindergarten and started out on an Apple. I first started using Windows when I was in the 7th grade. I just sat down in front of the computer and taught myself how. I never had a problem with Windows till Windows ME came out. Ever since then I have wanted to convert over to Mac. Unfortunately, most of the programs I use are only for Windows. I started web design in 2002 and started learning HTML. Currently I am trying to learn PHP and MySQL. I still have a lot to learn about web designing but I think I am off to a good start.
