Biography
I worked in networking and IT for about 22 years, 8 years at a major midwestern university computer center, and 14 years as CEO of a non-profit state research and education network. Before that I was a media technician at the K-12 level, and I also worked in parachurch youth ministry for several years after college. Virtually all of that was stuff I learned on my own--my degree is in journalism. These days I'm Director of Media and Communications at my church, and I'm an active blogger. I've also been leading contemporary worship at my church for the last nine years. I'm a Mac guy, through and through, but I like Linux, too, and I like Drupal (and Wordpress).

Thanks for the Drupal stuff
Rob, MF:
I'm a new listener, and I'm still catching up on past episodes, but I'm loving the series on Drupal (I'm about halfway through it)--thanks so much for your thorough coverage of a very cool CMS.
I use Drupal for my worship blog site, and my buddy Glen (our Webmaster at my church) uses it for the church site now, too. Your Drupal series has already clued me in on some things that I could do a lot better with my site, and has helped explain some stuff I didn't understand all that well.
I'm really more of an administrator in my day job (I mostly go to meetings and sign stuff, these days), but managing the church Internet server helps me keep my hand in the geek side of things, and I love it.
I've put some audio up on my blog site--a couple of guitar pieces I recorded and several teaching sessions (I also teach a college Bible study), but I'm thinking about doing a "real" podcast at some point, too.
Anyway, thanks very much for your show, and keep up the good work!
God bless you both, Doug
