About Us
AbsoluteDSM.com is the creation of web page administrators, Ryan Moffatt and
Josh Garrett. The site was created to discuss the amazing construction
and development underway in the rapidly growing Des Moines, Iowa
metropolitan area. Showcasing Des Moines' architecture and built
environment through photograph became an obvious inclusion to the site, that
will eventually grow to include many cities across Iowa. AbsoluteDSM.com is
intended to fill a niche in the Central Iowa web community, by providing a
source of information and a format for discussion regarding the construction
projects and development of the region.
This website was launched in August 2004. A special thanks to Jeff Huston of Omaha, for kindly
contributing the original web space needed to bring you the early
rendition of absolutedsm.com. Please
be sure to visit Jeff's creation, www.eomaha.com, to view and discuss everything Omaha, Nebraska related.
We'd also like to thank Kevin Schnell of Des Moines for helping us create
the look and feel of absoluteDSM.com and for his occasional technical
assistance.
