I live, work, and volunteer in Evanston, IL:

• Web Developer at Northwestern University.
• President of the Democratic Party of Evanston.
• Treasurer of the Grandmother Park Initiative, a project to build a new park in west Evanston.
• Community organizer for the Dewey-Darrow Neighbors, part of the Asbury-Dodge Neighborhoods.

By day I co-manage Web Infrastructure and Application Development in the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences. Our work is split between:

• Web application development on the "LAMP stack" (Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP), often using the CakePHP framework.
• Server infrastructure planning and maintenance.
• All levels of web support for College faculty and staff.
• Managing special projects or "other duties as assigned."

I'm originally from Dearborn, Michigan and later moved to Chicago where I attended Amundsen High School (1997). I studied mathematics and computer science at Cornell College (2001) in Mount Vernon, Iowa where I met my wife, Delia. I moved to Evanston in 2001 where we are currently raising our daughter, Edith Marie (2/13/2011), and Jack Russell Terrier, Ninja (c. 2001). I'm a graduate of Leadership Evanston (2006) and highly recommend it.

I put my curly braces on the right line. I mapped the maze of twisty little passages all alike. If I had to explain Unix in 140 characters or less I would say less is more, more is less, and cat is awesome because it has a funny name. I bike to work when the weather is nice. I have a kite in my office. I believe that relative to twelve ten is grossly overrated. I believe w=uh. I tpye god. INTJ.
