Aaron Kuzemchak is a Web developer and technology fanatic/geek/nerd/whatever who has been developing websites professionally since 2004. He currently resides in Richmond, VA and works as Senior Application Developer at Visual Chefs.
Aaron had previously worked as both a designer and a front-end developer, but eventually hopped the fence to the programming side of things. He loves utilizing PHP frameworks like Laravel and CodeIgniter for building Web applications, and content managements systems like ExpressionEngine for Web sites.
When he's not hacking on code, Aaron enjoys being with his wife Berni, his son Daniel, and his dachshund Rascal. He also enjoys a good violent video game, anything that has zombies in it, a balance of classic and 90s alternative rock, and playing guitar.
