SEO

Ever since jumping into the Drupal scene a couple years back (around August of 2009), a lot of opportunities have surfaced for me.  With my becoming a senior developer at PlattForm, traveling to conferences in San Francisco and Chicago, meeting a lot of cool and interesting people, and working on some interesting side/personal projects, Drupal has really been an integral factor in the path my life has taken and it looks to continue to be a huge factor in my life going forward.
