Formed Microfirm and started using Paradox for Windows in 1995. Moved to the web ( and Florida) using php in 2002. Wrote my own light weight CMS. Switched to Drupal in 2008 after getting tired of writing code that was available as modules. Started using CiviCRM in 2008 also so I don't have to write any more CRUD's and have specialized in module writing for both Drupal and CiviCRM since.
