MX Senior Technical Evangelist, Macromedia
I am Adobe Systems Inc's Senior Technical Evangelist. In that capacity I get to spend a considerable amount of time talking and writing about Macromedia products (with an emphasis on ColdFusion), and providing feedback to help shape the future direction of the product. By the way, if you are not yet a ColdFusion user, you should be. It is an incredible product, and is truly deserving of all the praise it has been receiving. In a prior life I was a ColdFusion customer (I wrote one of the first large high visibility web sites using the product) and was so impressed I ended up working for the company that created it (Allaire). I am also the author of books on ColdFusion, SQL, Windows 2000, JSP, WAP, Regular Expressions, and more. My books page has details on these, many of which have been translated into 14 languages. And I have several new books on the way - stay tuned for more info (or join my mailing list and I'll let you know when new books ship).

My laptop is still out for repair, and Adobe IT sent me a temporary one so that I could at least connect to VPN and get some work done. Rather than configure Outlook on this temporary machine, I'm just using Outlook Web Access (the Exchange web interface).
