About our Founders
40eleven.com was founded by Rebekah Hughes, whose web experience began shortly after Al Gore invented the internet (that's a joke, folks). While her James Madison University studies taught her the essentials of graphic design and layout for print media, and gave her a degree in Journalism, this ultimately led to her delving into web design. She developed her first website while employed as the Communications Director for the Virginia Peninsula Chamber of Commerce. Five years later she revamped the Chamber's website while employed by the Commonwealth of Virginia's Electronic Commerce Center. Rebekah worked several years as a freelance independant contractor until she decided to start her own business.40eleven was co-founded by Rebekah's husband Jake Hughes whose technical expertise goes all the way back to his years at the Virginia Military Institute where he served as a computer technician for the Corps. After graduating he served as the webmaster for Northrop Grumman Newport News. Today he continues to freelance as a website designer, photographer and computer technician while working full-time as a project manager for Turzac Construction Corporation.
