CEO of Wazeter, Inc (Web Design & Development for small businesses), Leadership author for Entrepreneur.com and Dynamic Public Speaker.

Yes, I still get the “can you help me with my email / computer” phone calls.

Hi! I’m Frank Wazeter and I’ve been a professional Full Stack Web Developer since 2005 (except we were called webmasters then) – with some ever so slight detours into cold calling and door to door sales along the way to build a bullet proof entrepreneurial skillset. While I started out building sites for Universities, the vast majority of my career has centered around small business, which has led me through some extraordinarily interesting circumstances, 5 countries and 27 states.

Life is full of extraordinary and unexpected experiences.

Ask me about a handful of those stories, like:
-The time a company I was with accidentally set the richest lawyer in the city’s office on fire.
-The time a Tsunami on the opposite side of the planet almost wiped out our business.
-How I almost died in Kazakhstan after a mistranslation about tea in a spa…and ended up repeating that the ‘Galaxy is in Terminal 9.’
-How 4 left turns without GPS in Tokyo resulted in a mystic quest guided by a cartoon map that had no street names or directional compass.
-When a skinny web geek somehow ended tearing down and installing a roof with the crew – to hilarious results.

The Tech stuff: I suppose no one can ever be truly ‘Full Stack,’ but by hazard of time and experiences, I’ve ended up working extensively in Linux server code, Python, PHP, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, React and Node.

My first IDE was notepad in 1996. I much prefer modern tooling.
