Hello, I'm Pie.
Although my given name (not first name) is Zach, people call me Pie. It came from a longer nickname and has just progressed shorter and shorter. Don’t expect me to answer to Zach.
My goal in life is to better everyone’s life that I come in contact with somehow. I am always willing to listen and hear other people’s problems. My other goal is to be rich and successful, so I may live life comfortably and also so that I can use the money to better other peoples lives.
I work in the web industry. I’ve owned my own business since I was 12. That was 11 years ago. To include the full list of jobs; Web Design, Web Developer (Ruby programmer), Web Usability Specialist (I build websites with usability in mind), Web Accessibility Specialist (I build websites so that people with lack of mobility can use them), Front-End Engineer (HTML/CSS), Journalist (I blog for some news sources) and potential author (I’ve had requests, but nothing amazing). I also like to write Urban Fantasy novels, but have nothing solid done yet.
Although a Scot, I’ve lived in: Devon, England; London, England; Galesburg, Illinois (border of Illinois and Iowa); Jacksonville, Florida and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I loved them all, and thus a reason I want to move to San Francisco is because it contains the best of them all. I have a mixed way of speaking, I will say American terms like pants but say the English pronunciation of everything, but also sometimes I will say an Asianism.
What else? I’m single. In my limited spare time, I game. Mainly on xbox. My gamertag is: pie0. I also take photos with my Nikon d90 though I have a way to go before I am happy with my skills.

I’m clumsy. I’ve managed to seriously sprain my ankle on sand (after consuming a whole bottle of Jack in 45 minutes), stub my toe while sitting down, and so on.
The rest, you’ll have to get to know me to find out. I love meeting new people, and am always happy to be messaged. If I’m too busy I’ll say.
