Self employed developer and consultant. Have been doing Drupal for about 5 years, but have been doing consulting for longer than I care to admit. Visited my first web page in 1993 or so and made my own first site in 1994 - it still exists BTW!
I used to be a freelance IT journalist and in the heydays of printed magazines I was the editor-in-chief of PC World Denmark, MacWorld Denmark and a few other magazines. That ended abruptly when the dot-com bubble burst! I haven't looked back.
Web professional since 1999, as a designer, builder, technical writer and QA/product analyst. Current focus is on user experience design and Drupal site building.
Contributions to the Drupal community include co-project managing the drupal.org redesign, assistant organizer of Drupal Design Camp Boston (2009 and 2010). and some D7 UI text / help patches/patch reviews.
Lisa joined Growing Venture Solutions in June.
Other interests include baking, good food, being outside, and historical nerdery, particularly visiting historic houses/sites, genealogy, and collecting old maps.
I fell in love with the Drupal codebase - not the user interface - around 2001 and have used it in various projects ever since. This includes community sites for clients, Drupal as an add-on to online magazines, and my personal weblog. In 2007, I co-authored the first O'Reilly book (published in Germany only) about Drupal.
A father of three children, I am also actively interested in media education. On and off, I teach classes in online publishing for elementary school children and have recently started to hold workshops in physical computing for children.
