About me:: 

Hello! I'm a programmer from Colorado working to reduce petroleum use and manage data for sustainable building practices. I have been working with Drupal since sometime in 2007, and can't really see any worthy alternatives (although I dabble with other languages, and I got my PHP certification in 2009).

Before that, I taught programming and web design at the Art Institute of Colorado for over seven years. And before THAT I helped install an instance of CERN's httpd server at the University of California, Santa Barbara in 1994. But, to truly understand how I've been keeping it fresh programming, please note that I had my first formal instruction back in 1983, in BASIC.

Trying to keep GOTO in check when I was a teenager made everything else worthwhile.

Interests: 

My interests are: Drupal, programming, writing, Colorado SkiCountry, wondering when (or if) suspenders will come back in fashion. And music. Lots and lots of music.

Designation: 
I'm a DA Member.
