Biography
I was escorted into the world of computing when my parents purchased a Commodore Vic20 in or around 1982. Typically quite frugal, my father understood the power of computers (at least for his kids, he still won't mess with them) and upped the antie by purchasing an Apple IIc for me in 1984.
I became interested in static HTML in '97 and a few years later became a big fan of WYSIWYG editors (GoLive and Dreamweaver) after using them for several employers as well as freelance work. As the web developed it became clear that I needed additional functionality and I started investigating open source web frameworks. Drupal made the most sense to me and since then I've become active in the Chicago Drupal community as an attendee of the Chicago Drupal Meetup Group and an Assistant Organizer of the Fox Valley Drupal Meetup Group. I run GoGrow.org and build Drupal sites for churches and other Christian ministries.
I'm married and have three small children. We attend and volunteer at a Vineyard church here in Aurora. I am quite interested in how church and tech can be better integrated.
I am a Geek. I love God.

Church Site Examples
Hi, If anyone is looking for inspiration, I found a nice post highlighting good church site design. The 3-part article has been out there a few years, so a few sites may look a little dated, but it looks to be worth at least a quick scan.

Assistance requested with Zen in IE.
OK, it's not a church site, but it is Drupal...I'm working on a Zen-based site. It looks OK in FF and Safari but breaks in IE. Any assistance regarding Explorer would be greatly appreciated. http://rhill.gogrow.org/entert...

Drupal Spring Jam in Chicago
Just wanted to invite everyone to the Chicago Drupal Meetup Group's Spring Jam 2010. It will be held Saturday March 27th (9:00 am - Midnight) at the University of Illinois, Chicago. Cost is $50 and food is included. Two introduction and seven D7 sessions are scheduled plus there is plenty of space for the many BoF (birds of a feather) impromptu discussions that will certainly pop up.
All attendees have a chance to win a trip to Drupalcon San Francisco!
RSVP @ jam.cdmug.org
Bring your laptop and plenty of business cards.
Views Row Theming
Awhile back, Bob created a really great Mustardseed Media podcast on Views Row Theming. For those who missed it, he cracked the code on how to insert dynamic classes and ids into your view.
I'm wondering if anyone has explored this idea and if you care to share your ideas?
