Welcome.

I'm Michael Villa (but you can call me Mike). I'm the President of Dovetail Internet Technologies, LLC. My goals for this Blog are simple. Many posts will chronicle what's going on at Dovetail, but I'll also provide personal insights, thoughts, and opinions on challenges, pitfalls and trends surrounding the Internet.

A little bit about me.

Dovetail finds its home in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts and I've spent my whole life in Central Mass. I graduated in 1991 from the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, MA. After spending almost 6 years working for a local ad agency as a graphic artist, I began working with the Internet in 1996. In May of 1999 Dovetail was born.

It's been a wild ride since then. Over the past seven years I've had a front row seat to the Internet bubble's boon, burst and resurrection. I've had the pleasure of working with hundreds of companies over the years to host and build their websites, and I've been lucky enough to benefit from many lasting professional relationships - a few have been with me personally now for a decade!

I've seen a lot. And I've developed my own modus operandi regarding the Internet. Sprinkled with practical ideas and proven techniques. I look forward to sharing many of them with you in the posts here.

Enjoy!
