I've been programming since I was a boy in the early 80s. Then I found out that people would give me money to write code, and I've been doing this ever since. I came up from Basic and Turbo Pascal and C into the Microsoft development tools from VB1 all the way through .NET, some Ruby on Rails, and some PHP but I never had a client who was serious about PHP development. Then I found Drupal. I was captivated and horrified and fascinated and frustrated and liberated, all at once!
Now, I am doing my best to contribute to the community and to develop good modules and create kick-ass sites.
