the resume of ben lymer

[about]

Ben Lymer is the “Man” behind blurrMEDIA, which was launched in 2002 as a freelance endeavor and continues to grow. Ben′s full time job is as a frontend web developer, who is passionate about CSS and html. Some call him a “standards nut”. Ben also loves to shoot video, for something as simple as a wedding or something as complicated as a concert.

When Ben isn′t doing any of that, he can be found either at his church lending a hand in the Audio/Visual ministry (which can be as simple as running lights or the pastors slides, to working full on production numbers) or just tinkering around the house on pet projects.
