Bio: 

I began designing Websites in 1994 on the once-popular Geocities system. Over the years, I grew as a designer and began exploring the world of programming using other languages such as ColdFusion, PHP, Perl, and Ruby. I found my niche around 2001 and started my own design and development firm, FlashPoint Network, in 2003. While freelancing in my spare time, I have held various positions at a couple well-known local companies in which I have evolved and grown as a designer / developer. I continue to develop sites and applications with FlashPoint Network, and am also the senior Web developer for UNC-TV; a statewide television station in the PBS network.

Drupal Contributions: 

Though I have created several modules specific to my clients' needs, I have yet to create a publicly available module. I am currently working on my first contribution to the module world for other PBS stations that interfaces with their video API.
