I've been involved with Drupal since 2006 and am the current Documentation Team Lead for the project. In March 2009 I was awarded a Knight Foundation grant to improve Drupal documentation. I travel around the world, speaking at events from local high schools to major conferences like OSCON, working to improve Drupal and Open Source software. I was also involved with organizing the Writing Open Source conference, and the subsequent WOSdocs community, to get open source projects together to share ideas about how to improve documentation.

In addition to documentation work I am also heavily involved in the Drupal community through helping maintain Drupal.org, getting my hands dirty in the code, and being a permanent member of the Drupal Association General Assembly. I work full time doing Open Source consulting and training with Lullabot.
