Jamie Barger. Jacksonville, Florida. Future lawyer. Current web developer. Former journalist.

Who?

You might know me as "James Barger" or "Jamie Barger." You might have met me at the University of Florida, or at Nease High School. Or, maybe we worked together at America Online (AOL), the Federal Reserve, TPI, or a small newspaper.

About Me

I live in the Chestnut Hill neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with a perfect son, a beautiful baby girl, a wonderful & patient wife, and an enthusiastic dog.


I am attending the Temple University Beasley School of Law in Philadelphia. I had merit scholarship offers at a few other law schools, but I chose Temple Law because of its excellent reputation in the region and great job placement success in Philadelphia, a city that my wife and I really like. My family's roots run deep in Pennsylvania, so I have always liked the idea of settling down here.

To help defray the cost of law school, I am still doing some web development work also. I specialize in usability analysis and server-side programming (ASP, PHP, ASP.Net, etc.), although I've dabbled in practically every aspect of e-Commerce and web development since I first started exploring the field in 1995, at America Online. It started as a bit of a hobby, much like the programming I did back when I was 12 years old and experimented with programming graphics and sound in the TI-BASIC language, on my Texas Instruments TI-99/4A.

The Great Seal of the United States of America
I live in the United States, which has worked out pretty nicely for me, although I'd love to live in Europe for a few years.
