about

Get to know me... find out who I am and how I know what I know. I think I'm kinda cool, but I may be biased.

So You Want To Know My Sign?

Well, I'm not going to tell you that (always keep them wanting more), but I will tell you some other things. I'm much more than a web designer and graphic designer. As you know, my name is Michael Verner. I'm 26 and a proud resident of Washington, PA (also called Washpa or Little Washington). I'm a big Apple fan (I love my MacBook Pro), but just because I use a computer all day doesn't mean I a huge geek (just a small one). I like outdoor activities, sports, and jamming on my guitar. I am a huge music fan. I go to tons of concerts and I listen to pretty much everything (except modern country music, though I love the old stuff).

I'm a hard worker and a perfectionist. I appreciate when things not only look good, but work well, and I really love to cultivate ongoing relationships with all Verner Web Studio clients to help them to surpass their ever evolving goals. (Oh, and I'm a Leo - I just can't keep a secret)
