Bio: 

I am an Enterprise Technical Consultant and Solutions Architect with a 25-year background in website development. My passions include information architecture, content strategy, human-centered design, Agile development, growth-driven design, and selling open-source software solutions. I am an active participant in the Drupal and UX communities. In my free time, I enjoy traveling and relaxing with my wife, dog training, photography, videography, woodworking, and exploring nature. My core values are service, creativity, courage, openness, and fairness.
