Showing Up For Drupal - Again and Again

A graphic that reads, "Showing Up For Drupal - Again and Again" on a blue background that includes a Druplicon.

I’ve been part of the Drupal community for nearly two decades. For me, that’s always meant more than writing code.

Since 2006, I’ve co-founded Drupalcamp Colorado, helped organize DrupalCon Denver, served on the Drupal Association Board, and co-created the Event Organizer’s Working Group. I’ve also helped formalize Drupal Colorado into a sustainable nonprofit, maintained contrib modules, volunteered at countless camps and Cons, and supported community health as a trained Code of Conduct contact.

But here’s the thing: I don’t share this to list credentials. I share it because I want you to know this isn’t performative. It’s not opportunistic. I’ve shown up again and again, in good times and hard ones, because I care about Drupal and the people in it.

And if I’m elected to the board, that’s exactly what I’ll keep doing: showing up, doing the work, helping us move forward together.

I made a short video about this if you’d rather watch than read:
