Social networking has taken a nose-dive with both of these, but I'd have to go with facebook. I have actually reconnected with old relatives.

I've worked directly with Ivan for almost two years. He's been a great mentor and has a wealth of knowledge to share. If people have questions, he's the one who knows how.

I have know Ivan for many years during which he has designed created our website from scratch. This is in addition to the countless other graphic design work he has created for our business. He is exceptionally talented, he has an ability to think "outside the box" while keeping costs at a minimum. He is reliable, honest and sincere. At this time we have no need for a full time person with his talents and abilities but if we did we would hire him in a minute!
