I currently live in Northwestern, WA with my beautiful wife Jennifer and our two Bloodhounds Ellie and Cooper. We live on a 10 acre farm and we love to garden, try and eat well to stay healthy and when we get time we enjoy traveling around the Pacific Northwest and beyond.

My Blog
I use my personal blog to share some of my favorite moments in life as well as a place to help people learn about doing business online. I have many years experience working on the internet in many different industries. I don’t claim to know everything, but I do know a lot and I hope to share my years of web development knowledge with you.
More about my business life
I am the owner and CEO of Silicon Digital Industries and I am still the head designer and developer for the web design and development company Monster Development. Working online since 1995, I have developed a vast working knowledge of how to develop profitable internet ventures and I have directed the development of many popular websites for my company that have generated millions of dollars in revenue. I have also been directly involved in hosting and developing thousands of websites for the clients of MonsterDevelopment.com and MonsterDevelopment.net.
My Goal
Through the ChrisBigelow.com website I will share my knowledge and help people all over the world develop successful internet businesses and experience the personal freedoms that I have been able to enjoy due to my numerous successful internet ventures. I started learning BASIC when I was in third grade and have been hooked on computers ever since. I was lucky my father always made it a point to have a computer in the house as I grew up so I was always able to work with them at my own pace. I have been working with both Microsoft/Windows and Apple/MAC machines since 486 processors and my trusty Apple IIe. Quick game of Swashbuckler anyone? Yes, I even had a pimped out Commodore 64 at one point. I have worked for myself online since 1995. I am self taught for the most part and continue to learn on a daily basis. This industry is one that allows me to get a continued education as the technology is constantly evolving. I love new media technologies (geek) and enjoy the process of learning about exciting new ways to do business online. I enjoy teaching people how to do business and make money online and hope to help you do the same.
I provide information that will teach you step by step how to start, develop and manage a successful online business venture.

My FTC Disclaimer
One last thing… this has to be said, so I will say it in the most plain way I know how to say it.
In my job as a website developer, web hosting service provider, blogger and affiliate marketer, I use many different tools and services. Many or even most of which have affiliate programs that I join and then when I review these products on my blog, many times, at least as often as possible I do include an affiliate link, so I can make a few dollars on the sale of the item I am promoting if you agree with me that it is as cool as I think it is and you decide to buy it. I will do my best to review products as thoroughly as I can before mentioning them here on my blog and I urge you to do your own research on any product or service that I recommend. At the time I post a recommendation on my website about a product or service, I may or may not have actually had first hand experience with the product but may know or be familiar with it’s usefulness through working with other developers and other online marketers around the world and through my own online research. If I find a product or tool that I am able to link to with an affiliate code, then I most certainly will. This is good for me as I get paid for my hard work writing about the tools and services I come across, and for sharing my many years of online knowledge. It is good for you because you get to learn about all of these neat tools and if you do end up buying anything you learn about on my website, you are helping me to continue helping you!
Also, in addition to marketing affiliated products and services on my blog I also promote and link to the product and service websites owned directly by my company Silicon Digital Industries.
The companies that are owned or operated by my company can be found here: Silicon Digital Industries, Inc. Company Sites.
Ok, now that you have read all that and you understand that I promote stuff on my blog, I hope I can help you build your own profitable online business!
Thanks for stopping by and reading more about me!
