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.

A little jittery, kind of debating if this was a good idea or not, wondering why so many people seem to care.

Think I'm giving up my last vice

I'm giving up weed, for a variety of reasons.  The biggest is really money, I have a goal that will take a lot of money and I need to save.  It will suck but it's necessary.  Anyway, here's the reason why, this post for people in the friends and family groups only.
