I'm fascinated by the intersection between how groups work and the impact of story-telling. I've spent a decade working in Live Broadcast TV and working in teams that spend huge amounts of time prepping for working live on air. I'm also come from a university background spent studying ecology and systems biology. Together these two very different areas share a lot in terms of how the actions and reactions of entities cause follow-on impacts. It's also given me a great environment to question the status quo. There is too much good work being done around the world right now to just live with what I feel is a broken system.
And then I'm lucky enough to meet Drupal. The potential is beautiful and the room for improvement vast. Too poetic? I think not.
