Elliott Benzle
Eleven years ago I made my first website with AOL's free site builder, it was a one page story with pictures. When I had finished inputting all my images and formatting my text I remember thinking that it was the coolest thing I'd ever done. Today I'm a freelancer making websites for companies all over the world. Everyday I still get that feeling that each project I complete is the next coolest thing I've ever done. I love what I do.
