I started off my career as an astronomer, studying black holes in the Milky Way Galaxy. I was working on building websites related to science education and public outreach and discovered Drupal through that, and that launched a decade-long career in Drupal. (More recently, though, I've moved over to a career at Automattic over in the WordPress world.)
Fun fact: Although the first website I "built" was over ten years ago, I had absolutely no idea what I was doing as a programmer or web developer until I started using Drupal and learning from the Drupal community. I love the variety of backgrounds people bring to Drupal and the way we all learn things from each other.
I currently live in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania with my wife and daughter, our pet cat, and our two pet plants.

I work mostly on Drupal core, but I've also written code for several contributed modules and have written a few smaller modules myself.
Within Drupal core, I have served as co-maintainer of Drupal 7 (a position I began in May 2012). I am also a maintainer of the install system and Shortcut module, a member of the Drupal Security Team, and I do a lot of work on improving Drupal's user experience.
A lot of my work in the community has been sponsored by Drupal-focused companies for which I've worked as either an employee or contractor (first Acquia, then Advomatic and Tag1 Consulting), but I do a lot on my own time too.
I like to review patches, and sometimes my reviews are really long and detailed... This is because I have an uncanny ability to break things in ways they've never been broken before. Someday my goal is to be as good at fixing things as I am at breaking them :)
