More About Steven Wakeman


      Hi, I'm Steven Wakeman, and I like chickens. That's probably all you need to know about me, but just in case...

What is your experience in web design?
I started working with web pages many years ago, but I didn't have anything major on the Internet until January 1998 when I started working on a website called Jazz 2 City. For two years, it was the main source for news and downloads in the Jazz Jackrabbit community. Over a period of 3 years I also maintained a homepage and Jazz 2 fan site called Jazz 2 Stuff. I am only competent in XHTML and basic CSS and I have very little skill with graphical interfaces, so I've had to learn how to improvise over the years. :)

What part do you have in your family?
I am the middle of 3 children in my family and I turned 18 on July 31 of last year. My brother is 22 and my sister is 12. I grew up in a Christian family and accepted Jesus into my life at an early age. I'm especially close to my older brother, who is a role model to me in many ways.

Where do you live?
I live in Spokane, Washington in the eastern part of our state. I've also lived in Reno, Nevada and Juneau, Alaska. Most of my relatives live in Spokane and we have an awesome church in our area.

What part did you have in the creation of PTL?
I am responsible for contrieving much of the written content on PTL. The pages have been through years of revision on my old homepage, Jazz 2 Stuff, but I continually work to add depth and clarity to the pages while attempting to keep the content simple and straight forward.

What about your "Christianity"?
I believe in the Bible as the complete and inspired Word of God. I believe in salvation by faith alone in my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who bore my sins on the cross to pay the price of sin that I could never pay by my own abilities. I believe that Jesus conquered death by rising back to life and that I will spend an eternity in heaven because all my sins have been pardoned.

How can I get in touch with you?
The best way to reach me is by e-mail. Check out my Live Journal if you'd like to know what's going on in my life.

Anything else?
Pretty much everything I do on the Internet came about from joining the Jazz Jackrrabbit community many years ago. I've met many good friends over the Internet in this way, including Lendl, the creator of this website. I have been employed at McDonald's for almost two years and I will be graduating from high school in June. This fall I plan on attending a four-year missions-oriented Bible college. I enjoy reading God's Word, technology, and spending time with the youth group at my church.
