I enjoy web design, build aquariums, and work on aircraft simulators for a living. I have many talents, and a lot of "random" knowledge that I used once and will never use again...
In 2022, I started my own company, Full Send Aerial, and I am in the process of building my brand.
My hosting provider wanted $4900 for michaelkopp.com, so mikeykopp.com is okay for now :)

The Digital Binders are my largest project to date, spanning active development for 3+ years and with 10,000+ lines of PHP, HTML, and JS.
