- About Me
I'm a dad, a drupalholic, and kickass themer. I've been using Drupal since the summer of 2005. I help organize LA Drupal user group and the highly successful www.DrupalCampLA.com. I've been a full-time dad and part-time freelancer since 2002. In early 2011 I began expanding my business Media Done Right, specializing in Drupal based websites. We are currently a team of two and often work with other freelancers or team up with other smaller Drupal shops.
I'm a strong advocate of Open Source software. My background is in Information Systems, where I earned an IT degree from University of Redlands. I've been working in Information Technology professionally since 1994. I cut my teeth on HP/3000 & HP/9000 and MSDOS and within a few years Windows 95, NT, and Win 2000/XP. I currently run linux exclusively in my business. I believe it helps to develop websites in the same environment used for production.
- Ubuntu. nuff said.
- Firefox with addons: Firebug (& FB for Drupal), Web Dev toolbar, DownThemAll, (unix) TimeStamp converter, User Agent Switcher, yslow, Selenium IDE, noscript, tabscope.
- Geany - a lightweight GTK2 based text editor; similar to, but more powerful than notepad++ or textmate
- Git cola & qgit. command line too, of course.
- Dropbox - great for sharing files with clients and people on different platforms.
- Grsync - awesome GUI for rsync
- Meld - awesome diff / file comparing / visual merging tool.
- Inkscape - awesomness. similar benefits / features as MM Fireworks - tho not as advanced as the latest version, comparable to what I was using when I first switched to linux.

- Desktop Sharing: TeamViewer, Skype.
- Virtualbox - when I need to run another OS for browser testing or the like.
