INTRODUCTION (THE WHO, WHAT, WHERE & WHEN)

:: What do you get when you take one the most recognized lead singer from of one of the most influential bands in the past 20 years, give him an opportunity to embark on his first solo project ever, and tell him that the internet is one of the best marketing tools of the 20 and 21st century?  You get GEOFFTATE.COM by gosh!

:: Acquired on October 1st, 2001, GEOFFTATE.COM's goal is simple:  Educate all it's visitors on the happenings and history of Geoff Tate. (bet you knew that already, didn't ya?)  Well, look no further. 

THE WHO

:: Geoff Tate:  As obvious as obvious can be, without Geoff Tate, this site would never exist.  This site, and it's inter-workings, are all inspired by him.  For this site is the infinitive site for man who has been hailed as one of the most recognized voices in rock!

:: Susan Tate:  As former president of the International Queensrÿche Fan Club, Susan wears many other gloves, including organizer, party planner, promoter, manager, and most importantly wife and mother. 

:: Kevin Scurlock:  Reprising the role of webmaster, Kevin's 7+ year working for the Queensrÿche Fan Club now puts him in the most challenging role yet:  finding the time to work on yet another website!  Can he do it, can he pull it off?  Geoff's betting his career on it!  (And YES, I'm allowed to talk about myself in the 3rd person!)

THE WHAT

:: Here's where we blatantly promote those companies who have helped in developing GEOFFTATE.COM

:: Microsoft's FrontPage 2002:  The app I use for majority of my HTML editing.  Sure, for your HTML guru's out there, it's a cop out yeah!  But, when you travel all over God's creation doing this for a living (plus 1000 other things), FrontPage comes in real handy.  And yes, I DO know a majority of HTML, without having to use a GUI.  Really, I wouldn't lie to you!

:: NAPP:  I am a member of the National Association of Photoshop Professionals.  And if you're a graphics editor by any means, this is THE club to be a member of.  Benefits, tips & tricks, a quarterly magazine, discounts off of a butt load of software.  I could go on and on, but you get the picture.

:: VerySimple:  Looking for custom web scripting?  Look no further!

THE WHEN

:: October 10th, 2001:  The day we officially acquired the GEOFFTATE.COM domain. 

THE WHERE

:: Interland:  Also known as VServers and Hostpro, this has been our hosting company of choice for the past several years.  If you need a place to host your website, this is the shiznat of hosting companies... trust me!
