Felix Lockhart is 22 years old, and lives in his hometown in the mountains of northwestern Virginia, a college town called Harrisonburg.  He currently works as a professional web designer, and his creative interests include writing, nature photography, graphics design, and website scripting/design.  Other hobbies include off-roading, computer/electronics repair, amateur radio, and the furry fandom.  He can be shy at times, but enjoys meeting new people, particularly those he shares a common interest with.

Felix got his start online as an independant political columnist, the result of a high school English teacher who, for the first time in his school career, managed to get him to enjoy writing.  He already knew how to build a basic website, so he combined his skills and created his first website, showing off his various articles.  At the time, he was heavily involved with political debate and discussion sites, as well as religious ones, and he quickly gained readers.  He was even published in a Christian devotional book, Forty Voices.  However, the loss of most of his life's work to a destroyed computer hard drive killed his ambitions as an author, and his creativity stagnated.  More about his work since then is available here.

His current projects include website scripting and nature photography.  He generally doesn't do tech support anymore, but friends and acquaintances are welcome to inquire about technical services.

Felix graduated from Harrisonburg High School in 2003 with an Advanced Studies diploma, specialized in computer science.  While in high school, he spent two years working for the school district in their tech department, performing desktop support for systems across the entire school district, and worked through a summer on a massive district-wide Novell upgrade. He was recognized for excellence in the field by the Harrisonburg City school board.

He holds a CompTIA A+ certification (base-level computer tech certification), and is a Microsoft Certified Professional specializing in Windows 2000 administration.  He's also taken Intro to Computer Science at Blue Ridge Community College, though he promptly decided not to pursue a degree in computer science/IT.

Felix is also an FCC-licensed Amateur Radio Operator, Technician class, and is currently studying to upgrade to General class.

His current career goal is to be a web designer/scripter, and to that end, he has taken several classes to improve his skills (though, he's still primarily self-taught).  Classes he's taken cover material such as XHTML, Javascript, CSS, search engine optimization, and database administration, and his areas of additional self-taught knowledge include PHP and graphics design.  He's also a W3 Schools Certified HTML Developer in HTML 4.01, XHTML 1.0, CSS 1, and CSS 2.

Felix has always enjoyed cars, trucks, and anything else with an engine.  He's owned several cars, all of which he cared for deeply. Here are all of his vehicles, presented in reverse chronological order (most recent vehicles are at the top).
