I work and live in Eugene, OR and am the VP of Engineering at DealBase.com which is a Rails app, and the largest hotel deals web site out there. I also happen to be the VP of Eng at Bring Light (a Rails site), and prior to these worked at Adobe Systems. During this time I presentied Apollo and Rails":http://conferences.oreillynet.com/cs/rails2007/view/e_sess/11565 at RailsConf 2007. I previously worked on Photoshop, and a variety of other apps at Adobe.
Other tidbits… I’m an avid mountain and road cyclist, skier, and generally love technology. I have a wife and two young kids (as of this writing, 6 and 3 years old).
