Barnacle-Encrusted Old Sea-Dog
I’ve been making web sites and programming database-driven web applications since 1993, both as a freelancer and as a team manager. Before that, I worked on “Gopherspace” — the predecessor to the World Wide Web.
Canton Becker in 1984
In 1995, I co-founded Rocket Network Inc., a revolutionary Internet software company that made it possible for musicians to collaborate on live productions over the Internet. We received $40M of investment from Paul Allen, Cisco, and other leaders in next generation technologies.
Today, I work one-on-one with small businesses and non-profits to build beautiful and intuitive websites.
Contact me if you’d like to talk about your own project.
