7-year old Brandon Adams is an Oregon native, who recently moved to East Texas and at the age of 13 his love for web design took off.

"I was about 10 years old when I got my first computer. I can still remember it, it was a Dell. It's wasn't the newest thing but it wasn't the oldest thing either. It was ok and it worked perfect," says Brandon.  "When I was 13, I decided that I wanted to try to build a web site. I forced myself to read information on the Internet to build knowledge to be able to build a web site."

With help and money from friends Brandon started 3D Virtual Build, Inc., his own web design and development company with employees in India.

"Every day I'm doing a new web site for a new business and I have 50 employees in India working for me and it's great. It's just amazing. I would say there's our gross total is 2,000 businesses and they're either hosting on my server or they're having us design a web site for them," Brandon explains.

"The one that I like the most that I created was thumponline.com. It's a web site for young entrepreneurs like myself who are starting their businesses. I want to have money and be successful and enjoy what I'm doing so, why not start at a young age."

With all his ambition, Brandon is reaching for an even bigger goal, already laying out where he wants to be. "I want to be the corporate CEO with thousands of employees working in New York City, with my own building, right next to the Trump building," says Brandon smiling.

"I'll just have to work my way up there and if I don't get there at least I'll be happy doing what I'm doing."

Doing it...and doing it well.  All with the help of technology.
