THE NAME

Poor Irishman.com was formed in September 2006, but the idea for our
company begins much earlier.  While studying at Shepherd University - Andrew Jackson met Richard Keplinger. 
They formed a tight friendship, and were Brothers in Delta Sigma Pi
Professional Business Fraternity.  As a fundraising effort they
planned, and built the Jefferson County Small Business Development
website.

Richard arranged meetings with the client.  Andrew hammered out HTML
code and graphics.  Huddled around a small screen in an attic apartment
they put the finishing touches on the project.  A copyright line for
the website was missing! 

Since we were two poor college students, both with Irish heritage (or so it's said!) - we took a cue from Richard's bright red hair.  Inspiration struck and the name Poor Irishman was born.

THE MISSION

Andrew Jackson, The Poor Irishman has always been able to do more with
less.  Making available resources stretch farther.  Using the time
allowed to get more done.  And encouraging the people around him to
stretch far beyond their own expectations! 

The same principals allowing Andrew to "do more with less" give Poor Irishman clients a distinct advantage.  Projects are completed on-time (or early!).  Expectations are met (if not exceeded!).  Internet marketing goals are reached within budget (often soaring far beyond typical results!).

THE EXPERIENCE

World Wide Web pages were first published in early-1990.  Before that
time, Andrew was already active in the online community.  Experience as
member of several local Bulletin Board Systems(BBS), host of
collaborative email writing projects, and early explorer of internet
services Prodigy, AOL, Sierra Network, and more.  Andrew was a budding
programmer, and computer hardware/software trouble-shooter before his
teens.  Andrew credits the influence of Atari and the Nintendo Entertainment System for encouraging his... talents.

THE DIRECTION

Poor Irishman.com aims to serve small businesses, non-profits, organizations, and individuals taking their first steps onto the internet. 
By providing professional website design at an affordable rate we hope
to encourage many more people to enter the digital domain.  The
internet marketing service offered was built on experience we've gained
- and we intend to share that knowledge with clients. 
There are exciting improvements to the internet everyday!  Poor
Irishman.com wants to ensure no one is left behind, and everyone has
the opportunity to join the revolution.
