My name is Josh Ranta. I'm a web developer currently living in Uptown Minneapolis, Minnesota. I work as a web developer for a wonderful Advertising agency in Maple Grove, MN. This is my second company I've worked for as a web developer. I have a passion for how technology affects those that choose to use it. How it makes our lives better, how it makes our lives worse.

If you're still reading, here's a little more about me: I went to school for web development in 2006 and found my niche in life, or so I believe. I finished school and moved to the wonderful city of Minneapolis in 2008 where I was given the opportunity to do what I enjoy for a web group in Maple Grove, Cazarin Interactive. In August 2009 I moved on to a fantastic company also in Maple Grove, MN called Prime Advertising & Design where I work as a web developer and learn something new everyday. My current goals are to become more familiar with industry Design Tools Photoshop and Illustrator and to become more proficient using PHP. I've also been interested in learning application development as I have a little experience

This life has allowed me to see some amazing places in a world that has absolutely broadened my horizons and opened my eyes up to the wonders it presents. I've been North, South, East, and West and still have many places left to check out. My last trip brought me to the land of the rising sun where I was able to explore some really fun cities, Japan's culture always fascinates me.

Some of my favorite places I've been to are Thailand, Australia, Belgium, California, and Finland. I also really enjoyed time spent in Dubai, Bahrain, most of Europe, and Chile. Minnesota will always be home wherever I am.
