Drupal Contributions: 

I am a regular Drupal speaker and trainer, currently with Palantir.net and I co-host the DrupalEasy Podcast with ultimike, tedbow, andrewmriley, akalata and brightbold. I also host the Portland, OR Drupal DUG and helped start the first Drupal User Group in Florida - we put on our first DrupalCamp in February 2009. I contribute patches and test development versions of modules. For DrupalCon New Orleans and Baltimore, I was on the Site Building track chair team.

I served on a Schema.org committee with the W3C for Educational and Occupational Credentials, helping to develop a new way of listing metadata about professional certifications and college degrees, as well as other kinds of community-granted credentials.

I am always seeking out opportunities to mentor new community members.
