I have been a web developer since 1997 and am passionate about programming and strategy. I am a frequent responder to disaster relief efforts across the United States. I’ve been able to spend time helping people recover from hurricanes, tornadoes, and wildfires. In addition to volunteering, I also try to contribute to several open source software projects. I’m a passionate advocate for the open source model. Some of my favorite open source projects are: Ubuntu, PHP, WordPress, and Drupal. I also love to make things, both to make life easier and to take on challenges.
