I am a PHP developer / startup jumper - Who turned into a small business owner.

I've worked for many different companies and had many varied experiences in the past, such as:

• Working at the Space Telescope Science Institute on the Hubble Space Telescope program.
• Being programmer #2 and employee #7 at Digg
• Leading a small team to build a flight search engine for TripAdvisor
• (and many other jobs at companies not worthy of Wikipedia entries)

A few years ago I found myself at the end of a failed startup, and formed a consulting company with my coworkers called musketeers.me, LLC. With a weird twist of fate we found ourselves in the right place and right time just a few short months later to acquire the php[architect] brand - and now that is my main focus (while there is still consulting to be done as well).

I'm currently a partner with musketeers.me, and act as Managing Editor and Conference Chair for php[architect]. I help produce our monthly technical journal, publish books, develop and run online and in-person training, and run our multiple yearly conferences.
