I set up a church website with a bunch of other people when I was 16. It was based on phpbb and we tried turning it into a phpbb based CMS. The forum took off to some degree especially the praying side of things. Since then I've been trying to find a way to get what worked there (before Facebook was big) to the rest of the world.

I did a physics with philosophy degree but I massively prefer philosophy to the physics. I'm an avid gamer and just love gaming community, especially Starcraft.

I got into Drupal as a platform to build a church management system to handle managing those communities. Whilst exploring that idea we discovered that it would be beneficial if Drupal had a native Drupal CRM module. I gave us 3 months to build it.... 8 years later we're still here! We discovered that native Drupal CRM could benefit more then just the church and have expanded our clients to a variety of different industries both charities and commercial. Freely Give was founded to support this and we have been steadily growing.

Due to CRM software being heavily tied to a great deal more user data then most Drupal sites will capture, I have found myself getting very into GDPR and privacy in general. I've spent months of research, helped build the GDPR module and given a number of talks on the subject.
