My drupal obsession began with drupal 5.1, I was an intern at an organization that created CMS websites for local non-profits. After that I began doing freelance drupal work and am now overseeing 5 Drupal production sites with over 6,000 pages and 200 users.

I have been drawn to large content-migrations focusing on higher-education institutes. My previous Employer (www.sunyjcc.edu) has 6,000+ pieces of content and 200+ users.

Originally I was hired to migrate the old Plone website into Drupal at The Pennsylvania State University (http://psbehrend.psu.edu). The site has over 10,000 pieces of content and over 80 users.

My role has evolved to be a core team member for the development, management, support and feature requests for the campus-wide custom Drupal install profile.
