BJC

bjcLocation: San Diego, California
Position: Contractor/Master Developer

BJC likes all types of UNIX... as well as OS X, but have you ever met an OS X user who never uses the GUI? Yeah, thought not. B digs Drupal to death and his latest fun seems to be working on "glue" type projects with OA using XML-RPC. He's super fast in coding from making community sites to hand coding anything you want... On another note, BJC also plays a mighty mean lead guitar.
