About me
Zach Levendorf - Developer, Designer & Marketer
First and foremost, I love learning and creating. This is what I’ve done for most of my life and what I plan to do for the rest of my life. I’m a developer, designer, musician, cook, and ultimately enjoy constructing and deconstructing anything I can get my hands on to acquire a better, fundamental understanding of it.
I started building my own computers and writing code around twelve.
By the time I was fourteen I had more than fed my curiosity, having completed an apprenticeship with a Swedish web designer by the name of Ulf Mattson. Inspired, over the next four years I would complete CCNA 1 & 2 Cisco training courses, a programming class (C++), a MS Office Suite certification, an Adobe Suite course, a Flash Multimedia course, and lastly, another web course (HTML & CSS).
After graduating from High School, I started college at Marshall University, in Huntington WV, where I was accepted into their Computer Science program. A year later, when the opportunity arose, I transferred to Arizona State University (ASU) and was accepted into their CS program. I also was fortunate to land a job with an advertising and web design agency based out of Ft. Lauderdale, FL (Time Ten Creative, Inc.).
While finishing my degree, at the age of twenty-one, I started a web design, development, and marketing company of my own, Levy Media Marketing, LLC. I still maintain Levy Media Marketing LLC to this day, allowing me to continually improve my skills, network within the online community, and help numerous clients from various different industries and backgrounds.
"I wish to continue learning, creating and excelling every day."
