I am the president and co-founder of 12 Spokes—a software development shop focussed on building quality desktop and mobile applications. A developer at heart, I was a PHP/ASP developer before I discovered Ruby on Rails back in the pre-1.0 days. I don't do much professional coding these days—most of my hacking time goes to hacking on our business—but still kick around a few projects in Rails, Node and Emberjs.
