This is for testing myself against the w3.org html standard. For whatever reason, I am having a difficult time linking my CSS to my HTML. I will figure it out though.

<h1> Apprentice Software Engineer in Training</h1>
<h2> I am studying Web Development at General Assembly</h2>
<p> I recently dropped out of school to follow my passion for making beautiful products with software. I came from a sales/biz dev background, so sometimes learning this stuff can be a little hard. But, I would not want it any other way. It is better to be confused, than bored. </p>
<p> Here are some of my past experiences: </p>
<ol>
<p><a href="jobzzie.com">Jobzzie</a>: Finding a job sucks, and jobzzie will make it suck less. I got the idea when I was in school after seeing all of my peers struggling to find jobs. With the technology we currently possess in our pockets, no job seeker should be subject to 45+ minute long applications that will probably never get read, and will inevitably lie dormant in some company's database. Jobzzie received interest from employers like; Nordstrom's, Black Angus, WholeFoods, Landry's Restaurants (Rain Forrest Cafe, Charthouse) amoung others. Unfortunately, because of my lack of programming knowledge, I had to outsource development. I realized I needed to be the one building this product. I will continue with jobzzie once I have sufficent knowledge. </p>
<p><a href="https://twitter.com/HempSkinCare" target="_blank">H.E.M.P.</a>: Hempseed oil based skin care products. Found a manufacturer in Canada, and shipped a batch of 5 different products down here to California. Set up shop at local farmers markets, flipped my initial inventory, made a couple bucks and had a blast. </p>
<p>Booyahdeal.com: Was an Orange County, California based daily-deal start up. It was just me and the cofounder, he was the programmer, I was the sales guy. I met with, and cold called, multiple Orange County area companies and worked out deals with them. I consistantly closed merchant after merchant, and moved up from being hired as just an "Account Manager", to "Director of Sales". Everything appeared to be going well, and one day the founder, lets call him Jeff, stopped returning phone calls and eventually closed the office and site down. I have not heard from him since. It was most likely the best job I have ever had though, and what he taught me has turned out to be invaluable. Overall, it was a great experience. </p>
