Area of Knowledge
I'm primarily a Web Developer, who focuses on:
- (X)HTML

- JavaScript

- XML
- various templating languages
- JSP
- Velocity
- FreeMarker
I have worked some in Java and other programming languages, including Python, Perl, and PHP. Back in the day, I worked in C, Fortran, and BASIC.
History with JA-SIG
Became aware of JA-SIG and uPortal around 2002 when Unicon started developing software around uPortal.
Have worked extensively with the theme for uPortal for both Unicon's Academus product, uPortal 2.x, and now uPortal 3. I have also been involved with developing and maintaining numerous channels and portlets.
Personal Info
I graduated college with a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering from Arizona State University. I finished the class work for a M.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering, but never completed the required thesis.
I left college and worked several years for Chase Bankcard Services in both their Customer Service and Fraud Prevention Departments. I signed on with Unicon in January, 2000. I have been there ever since.
I'm married and have 3 children. My family life and church participation keeps me busy outside of work, as I seek to live a life glorifying to God.
