Ok, so my name is Chris Carlton. I’m a web developer/geek. I’m currently the Webmaster for the Agency for Health Care Administration of the State of Florida. I love building web sites and just working with web technologies.

I also work with my good friend, Dan Snider, and together we are Partners In Design, a small web design/development company that focuses on quality functional web sites for small businesses and churches.

My lovely wife, Wendy, and I have been married for eight(?!) years now, and we have two beautiful children, Sydney and TJ.
