Hello
My name is Troy Peterson, an independent Web Developer and sometimes Web Designer in Duluth Minnesota. I’ve been working in the field for over 7yrs now and am currently in partnership with SwimCreative working with them to implement web sites and digital media applications for clients across the midwest and the country.
If you’d like to see some samples of my work, head over to the SwimCreative web work section to see some examples of sites I’ve implemented.
History and Education
As a Minnesota boy at heart, I graduated from Hermantown High school and went on to Lake Superior College and then the University of Minnesota Duluth, graduating with a B.F.A in Graphic Design.
After college, I started working for a publishing company and began to want to know how web sites and programs worked. It was then I started to teach myself PHP and MySQL development and eventually converted the focus of my work.
In early 2008, I began to work on freelance projects on the side as a way of keeping my skills up to date and also to hedge against a possible layoff in an imploding publishing field. I started taking on clients and worked on sites at night, on the weekends, as well as over lunch break at my “9-5”. In the summer of 2010, I decided to take the leap and do it full time.
