About Me

The Short Version

Hello, my name is J.A. Ledwith. You can call me Andrew.

I am a Florida State University alumnus living and working in Tallahassee, Florida. I work in the FSU College of Business for the Marketing Institute. I am also on volunteer staff with the FSU Navigators campus ministry.

My blog will tend to focus on the events of my life (ministry, grad school, travel) and my interests (the social Internet, technology, music). I hope one day to write and edit professionally. I want to use this site as a sandbox, a place to practice writing and receive feedback. If you’ve liked the content you’ve read so far I recommend that you subscribe to my blog so you’ll automatically receive my newest content. You can have my new posts sent directly to your email inbox or you can subscribe using RSS. [What is RSS?]

The Long Version

I have lived in Tallahassee since 2002 when I moved there for college. As an FSU student I lived on campus all four years in four different dorms. To be honest, campus still feels like home. When I graduated in 2006 I decided to stay in Tallahassee.

Ever since my first week in Tallahassee I’ve been a part of The Navigators campus ministry at FSU. The Navs are committed to building relationships, sharing the love of Christ, knowing the Bible backward and forward, and mentoring students one-to-one. I’ve stayed active as a leader within the ministry since graduating. I currently a part of their staff in a volunteer capacity. (If you’re interested you can read more about my current involvement.)

I work as a web developer. I manage the web presence for the Marketing Institute in the FSU College of Business. It’s a job I really enjoy. None of my work has gone live yet, but when it does I’m going to put together a little portfolio here on my site.

I enjoy reading, playing the piano and singing along to my iTunes playlists. I’m a big fan of all Miami-based professional sports team, especially the Marlins. My collegiate allegiance should be obvious. I’m not crazy about TV but I am fond of Scrubs, Lost, and any show hosted by Conan O’Brien.

Colophon

I’ve been blogging since 2004 and I first started developing websites in 1995. I made my first crude sites when I was twelve years old, back when my family connected to the Internet using AOL 3.0. Creating this site was the first time I’d ever used WordPress.
