Ben Harris
Ben Harris got started as a web developer by rolling his own in the mid 90s. Personal interests led to other sites that garnered national attention. Fast forward a few years, and he now prefers to work on the sites of others; especially community-oriented non-profits and educational organizations. He dabbles in instructional design, PHP development, and web standards, and in mixed company, he hesitantly admits to occasionally "dreaming in Drupal".
