If At First You Do Not Succeed – Call It Version 1.0

I’m Josh Hawley. Some call me Hawleywood. Some don’t. Others – They don’t know what to say.

Hawleywood Interactive has been around for over 10 years serving clientelle through-out central Alberta and abroad.  I started building PC’s as a youth – back when you could actually screw up a custom built computer! When 16kb chips populated massive add-on cards.  Then the internet happened.  Once i learned HTML – I never looked back. Since then I’ve spent thousands of hours writing and working with Javascript, ASP.NET, PHP, MySQL, Transact-SQL, XML, VBScipt, Crystal Formulas, PowerShell, DOS… you name it.

I am a Computer Technology addict guru and provide my daily fix experience by way of a full-time IT Manager position with a large-scale oil and petroleum manufacturer.  But wait! That’s not enough: In my off-time I run Hawleywood Interactive – a business dedicated to Graphics, Websites, Video, PC Fixin’, Monkey Totin’, SQL Omelet Recipes, IIS in a Jar, DOS flavoured jelly beans and all around geekiness.  In no particular order, you can begin to draw a mental picture based on the criteria below. Feel free to send sketches.
