The Short Bio

Jeremy Werst is a text media specialist working in the beautiful city of Minneapolis, MN. If it's a way to publish the written word, he's tried it and quite probably mastered it.

When he's not working to change the world through self-publishing and social media, you can find him out on the trails riding his bicycle year-round, or at home making delicious vegan chai tea.

Welcome to Werstnet.com

Hi, my name is Jeremy Werst, and I'm a web developer working out of Minneapolis, MN.  My specialty is in creating beautiful websites that adhere to modern css and html specifications, specifically working with the concrete 5 content management system.

If you don't know what that means, don't worry.  It basically just means that I can make you a super kick-ass website that you can update yourself.  It's honestly easier for you to update the site that I create than it is to edit a word document.  Just navigate to the page that you're looking to edit, click the 'Edit Page' button and start clicking.

Seriously, it's that easy.

Apparently Minneapolis is Post Critical Mass

I've advocated for a long time that we don't really need Critical Mass in Minneapolis because we already have it so good.  Apparently other people finally got the message, if this forum post is to be believed.
