+              I started working with Java early in 2000.  We designed and implemented a
+              servlet-based application that to this day gives me and a fellow designer
+              the urge to do a total rewrite.  On my next assignment, somebody
+              introduced me to a series of patterns useful for web applications.  We
+              built a framework using these patterns and it worked out well for us.
+            </p>
+            <p>
+              When I tried to bring this framework into the next project, somebody 
+              suggested using Struts instead.  The two frameworks resembled each other 
+              so closely that we had no trouble at all switching.  One of the things 
+              missing in Struts was an easy way to do redirects with parameters, so we 
+              wrote our own class for that.  The same guy who suggested Struts 
+              suggested I contribute it to Struts.  A few months after that, I joined 
+              the mailing lists and sought how to contribute.

+              I found myself enjoying answering questions on the user list.  After some 
+              time, I was participating on the dev list as well.  Soon I was able to 
+              contribute a few patches and even came up with my own Struts extension.  
+              In February of 2005, I accepted an invitation to be a committer, and 
+              in July 2005, accepted an invitation to join the PMC.
