I've been a web developer for 13 years, specializing on PHP on LAMP. When I tried Drupal three-and-a-half years ago, I fell in love, married myself to it (technologically speaking) and haven't looked back since. I switched all my projects to Drupal 5 and then ported them to Drupal 6. I generally won't take on work that isn't Drupal related. I recently switched from doing freelance work and joined on with Ashday Interactive, where I'm helping them ramp up their Drupal efforts.

I co-host the Phoenix Drupal User Group and helped organize and present at the first Phoenix DrupalCamp last November.

I am the husband of the former Rachel Williams and the father of eleven energetic children, ranging in age from 17 to 7 months. We live in the Valley of the Sun, the Phoenix, Arizona metro, where I suffer through the oppressive summers because I love the city.

I am the out-of-the-box pioneer in my family, having introduced my wife to home school, alternative medicine, and other “radical” notions early in our marriage. After getting her on board, I now do my best to support her and our children in their educational endeavors. I am also an aspiring amateur cook, and love to share my ethnically-diverse concoctions with family and friends, or just seek out the more exotic options at local ethnic restaurants.
