Rob James
Albuquerque, NM, USAI am a self proclaimed design nerd. I got my start at my dad's computer company from an early age, and have surrounded myself with tech ever since. In high school, I joined the school newspaper and a door to a completely different world of computers flew open. Design. I've been learning and excercising the tricks of the trade ever since.
