Welcome to the new Rude Boy Enterprises Web site! My name is "Skaman Sam"uel Cotten Tyler. I am the founder and sole employee of Rude Boy Enterprises.

Rude Boy Enterprises began as joke in high school. I was the kind of person that mingled amongst all the tribes. I got to know a lot of people relatively quick, and my friends started joking with me about it. They decided I should go into the information business because I knew how to get information on just about anything and anyone. Me, being the person that I am, took them up on it and printed out business cards to complement my web site. I changed my site a little and became "Fightin' Irish Inc." That was the summer of 1996, right before my senior year. I had started doing a little free-lance web design and programming a bit in REALbasic. Fightin' Irish Inc. became a name to publish my software and web design skills under.

Fast-forward a couple of years to 1999. A friend of mine knew a lot of club owners and DJs in the area and got me a few gigs designing web sites for his associates. Since I was a professional web designer, meaning I got paid to do it, I decided to to change the name of my enterprise to something that wouldn't be sued for copyright violations (there is a college whose mascot is called the Fightin Irish). Since I really like ska music, and people were already calling me Skaman, I decided to go with the image and call my enterprise Rude Boy Enterprises. (The term "rude boy" originated in Jamaica, see http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Rude+boys.) I now publish all my work under this name, be it music, software, know-how, or whatever else I might want to do at the time.
