About Me
I am a web technologist living in beautiful Huntington, VT, where I have found a confluence between creating innovative technology solutions and pursuing a love for rural living and outdoor enjoyment.
I have been working for PBS since 2005, leading their Educational technology innovations.
I am a huge proponent of Open Source technology initiatives, and have been contributing back to many of the existing open source projects that I work with (and love), as well as open sourcing as many of my own projects as I can. You can find most of my work on GitHub.
Around The Web
I have never been someone to write blog posts, or spend too much time working on my own site... I am usually too busy hacking away on side projects. Instead, I decided to display recent activity from many of my social feeds here.

@handofdoom ha! I hope all is well in your neck of the woods! Would be great to catch up soon, it has been too long!
I wonder how @PBS nat'l will respond to the president's call to stop outsourcing jobs and keep them in US? They outsource webdev. #SOTU
