1. What got you started in website design?
   
   "Believe it or not, this started out from being a member of a Virtual Places chat realm. We needed pages for information on our club so a few of us started putting stuff up using the free servers. It just grew from there."
   
   
   
2. What do you hope to accomplish with your award program?
   
   "Mostly, I just want to give something back to the Awards Community. Earning and giving awards is just plain fun, but can also be a lot of work."
   
   
3. What advice would you give other program owners?
   
   "Don’t rush. Take your time and know what you want before you get started. The Awards Community can be a real jungle…lol, so look, listen and learn before you take the plunge."
   
   
4. What was the biggest problem you faced with your award program?
   
   "Developing the criteria. Coming up with clearly defined, understandable and fair criteria takes lots of time and hard work."
   
   
5. If you had to do it all over again, what would you do differently?
   
   "Follow the advice I gave earlier to new program owners…lol. My original program was VERY amateurish; it wasn’t a ‘gimme’ award, but the evaluation was strictly based on my personal opinion."
   
   
6. What plans do you have for the future?
   
   "Brujah Haven is undergoing a major reconstruction. Within the next few weeks/months we will be transitioning to Kindred Kreations. New domain, new layout, new content, the works."
   
   
7. What else do you like to do?
   
   "LOL, shouldn’t that be self-explanatory."
