Graduating with a History degree I never thought I'd have a career in programming. I discovered ColdFusion in 1998 (version 3.1) and was immediately impressed with the power of a few simple tags. I've done consulting over the years through my company design over matter. I also worked for roundpeg consulting in 2000-2002.

I joined the Bay Area ColdFusion User Group as co-manager in July 2008 and became the manager in April 2009.

When I'm not coding you'll find me playing with my two daughters Madeleine (age 4) and Olivia (21 months). Those rare moments I get for myself are spent mountain biking, snowboarding or running.
