I work at MapQuest and I am more than happy to provide information and answers to questions about MapQuest APIs and Web Services, both licensed and open. If I don't know the answer, I can reach out to someone who does. I participate on this site because it has been and continues to be a great resource for me and answering MapQuest-related questions is one way that I feel I can contribute to the site. My employer did not ask me to participate.

Outside of MapQuest, I have a GIS background and basically stumbled upon Web programming at one of my past GIS jobs. I'm currently interested in HTML5, CSS3, and responsive design. I also love JavaScript and wish I had time to learn more about Ruby on Rails, since I've worked on a Ruby on Rails project and really enjoyed it.

Outside of programming, I'm interested in coffee, camping, and taking my Jeep up into the Colorado mountains.
