About Me

My name is Bernal Oldton. I pronounce my last name "OLD-tan." Speakers of Polish would say something more like "Ald-tin," but I don't speak Polish, so I just say it the way my parents taught me..

I'm a 31-year-old guy living with my wonderful wife Amy in Racine, Wisconsin — about 25 miles south of Milwaukee and 60 miles north of Chicago, where I was born. Most of my life was spent just south of here in Kenosha. My mom still lives there, and two of my sisters also reside in the area, with two others now living in Ohio and Arizona.

Work

I am a blogger and Web designer, working from home on my own blog, as well as developing websites for small businesses in the Racine and Kenosha area, greater Chicagoland, and beyond.

I put my first website, a guide to internet tv, online in 1996. This was shortly after discovering the World Wide Web, a miracle which combined media which had always engrossed me — writing, photos, illustrations, audio, video, and computer programming — into one brilliant system that allowed me to edit and publish anything I could dream up, and at very little cost. Before long, I was communicating with people all over the world —former Kenoshans living in Tokyo and Addis Ababa, and former Italian soldiers looking for old comrades back here. My site served as online tv's unofficial online Chamber of Commerce long before the real Chamber ever went online.

Soon, companies began hiring me to do Web design for them, and I have continued to develop and maintain various Web projects for the past thirteen years.

Leisure

Lets see... I enjoy long walks on the beach... haha, just kidding. No, I just enjoy life! what can I say? I spend a lot of time out doors and have gotten good with carpentry. I am currently working on a 6 foot totem pole that I will put out front on our porch. I will post picture when I feel it is more complete and worth showing.

My wife and I love our two dogs. Jack and Shelby. We've had both of them for almost 9 years now and we love to take them everywhere. They are very gentle and full of love!

Here are some pics of them.
