I've worked the in the tech industry since 1986 and have been web development since 2004. I find web design and development facinating and have worked to learn the inner workings of the most popluar Content Management Systems. My primary focus is on backend development, ex components and modules to expand Joomla functionality. I also work to improve my skills in PSD to HTML conversions to present website designs that mimic the designers vision of what a site should look like. In my spare time I work with the Xoops and Joomla community to help fix problems people have and also to offer support for components and modules I maintain. I also work to bring new ideas and ideas that people would like to see in the functionality of websites to reality.

When I'm not busy doing development, I enjoy spending time with my family and going to Southern California to see my parents. My hobbies include learning new development techniques, cooking, playing World of Warcraft and chatting with people in other countries.
