Where We Work

// March 12th, 2010 // 1 Comment » // Business, Career, Christianity, Family, Management

I recently launched a new business venture at RedReynolds.com wherein I spend 25% of my time building websites for small-businesses and individuals, 25% of my time consulting with startup companies on Information Technology, Web, and Software strategy, and 50% of my time developing my own products and services to sell on the internet.

Recently a good friend of my wife and I came home to her husband (who is also my hunting buddy) laid off from his job.
