Introducing This Blog

I’ve been a ColdFusion developer for almost 5 years, but have only recently started participating in the community by attending conferences, reading blogs, and twittering.  I see this blog as my next step in getting involved.

I graduated from Georgetown University in 2003, began doing QA for Interfolio.com and soon became the sole full-time developer.  Like many in our trade, I’m self-taught, rather than a CS major or the like, so while I learned the basics, those basics were all I knew for the first 3 years or so.  In 2007, the company grew enough to warrant a second developer, and we hired Sam Farmer.  Having an experienced developer to bounce ideas off  was a revolutionary change for me, and it helped me get to the next level as a CFer.  Additionally, Sam opened my eyes to the ColdFusion’s incredible community, which really put my growth in fast-forward.  Now 2 years later I feel ready to start making my own contributions, and I hope I can be half as helpful to a few people out there as the ColdFusion community has been for me.  I look forward to sharing my thoughts and ideas with everyone.
