- Aaron Dimmitt - Content Director & Main Web Application Developer

Hello all, my name is Aaron Dimmitt and I am sure some of you are interested in who we are here at www.FortCollinsMovies.com and what we do. I am a native of Loveland, Colorado where I have lived most of my life up until I started college at Colorado State University in 1996. When I started out I moved into the dorms and then into the apartments and houses surrounding the campus in Fort Collins. I started my CSU “career”, as I like to put it, in Technical Journalism, but then changed to Electrical Engineering and finally Manufacturing Technology & Construction Management before taking time off and getting a job with a friend at the time at a small local Web development company. Until then using computers and the small amount of coding I had done were for my personal enjoyment. I had previously considered pursuing Computer Science as my college degree, but was under the impression that my talkative and outgoing nature would be stifled through a job where I would be on the computer the majority of the time. My job taught me that this was not the case and after working there for over a year and a half and after the dot-com bust of late 2001 I went back to school for Computer Science and finally graduated in 2006. Starting in early 2000 my brother and I started a small web development and hosting company, Allsis, where we try to help local small businesses and individuals that would like to have a presence on the web.
After going back to school, I was able to meet one of my best friends, Jason Noel, who later moved into a house with me and several other great friends of mine. During all of this time I have been an avid movie watcher and became a loyal fan of the www.FortCollinsMovies.com site since early 1998 when it was first released. Then in May 2004 a notification was placed on the site that site was going down, due to a lack of time from the previous owner to be able to maintain it. I approached Jason to see if he would be interested in purchasing the site from the previous owner and then improving the site with more features and abilities. He is now in charge of the graphics and advertising part of the site and I am in part of the content and functionality. This has been a long labor of love while I was in college and working other jobs and while Jason was growing his business, we recreated the site to what you see today with a great help from our loyal users and their suggestions.

Currently, I am employed at the University Of Colorado At Denver & Health Sciences Center IT services division in the database and Web application team. I have also recently got married on the 6th of October, 2007 to my college sweetheart, Laura. She also helps us by using one of her degrees from CSU, Technical Journalism, to help in the editing of our site. She LOVES the red pen.
If you do ever have any suggestions, comments or if you find a mistake please send them to us via the contact form and we will do our best to reply to everyone and continue to make improvements to the site.
Thanks again and welcome to Fort Collins Movies,
Aaron
