About Jace

I was born and raised in northwestern Wisconsin. I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology from the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

After college at UW-Eau Claire, I married my high school sweetheart and moved down to the Iowa City area. Over some time I decided to go back to school because of my passion for web and graphic design. I received my Associates Degree in Web Technologies from Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa with a Graphics emphasis.

Out of college I joined the fabulous team at Metro Studios in Hiawatha, IA where I worked web maintenance and as a web developer. Feel free to head over and check out my portfolio to see some of my web and graphic work.

There's SO MUCH in life that I thoroughly love and enjoy. I have an intense love of sports. I love streaming movies and TV shows. I hope to someday write my own screenplay or book of some sort. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I also enjoy cooking and grillin'. I could go on and on, but there's too much in life to enjoy and I don't want to bore you so I think I'll stop there.
