Sam discovered the Internet in 1997 at the age of 14 and hasn't signed off since. After teaching himself the basics of HTML, a chance encounter in a supermarket got him his first job with a web development company. Several years and connections later, he met Jacob Singh and began freelancing for hotel registrars, herbal essence growers, and Calabash Music.

In 2001 he went to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute to acquire an overpriced degree in Electronic Media, Arts, and Communications. Having learned that making digital multimedia art is (a) really cool and (b) doesn't pay the bills, he went back to web development for a small company in upstate New York after his graduation in 2005.

A year later, Sam realized that cubicles and dressing business-casual was eroding his soul, so he quit his job and returned to the freelance web development world, and has been kicking ass ever since.
