             most of my free time these days.  My current interest in Struts lies with the 
             Shale subproject.</p>

+            <p>In early 2000 I was working on a client-server application that
+            was written in Visual Basic and C++.  The decision was made to
+            rebuild the application as a web-based app using Java and JSP.  We
+            bought into the MVC architecture and implemented it using Sun's
+            Blueprints with a JSP front controller.  Then one of our architects
+            came back from JavaOne raving about Struts.  From that point on 
+            there was no turning back for me.</p>
+            
+            <p>Over the years my involvement has come in spurts.  If I was 
+            working on a web-based project it was a given that this project
+            would involve Struts.  Finally, our organization was bitten by the 
+            SOA bug so it was "webapp no more" for a while.  But I never 
+            bothered to unsubscribe from the Struts lists and always kept one 
+            ear tuned in to the chatter in my inbox.</p>
+            
+            <p>Finally I decided to plant myself back in the web tier with or 
+            without my employer's support and changed jobs.  Very soon 
+            afterwards, in October 2005, I was invited to become a Struts
+            committer.  This comes at a time when Tiles, my favorite part of
+            Struts, is seeing a lot of activity.  I hope to play a large part
+            in digging the Standalone version out of the sandbox.  I am also
+            very interested in JSF, Shale, content management systems, and 
+            portals.</p>
+            
+            <p>The truth is I still haven't decided what I want to be when I 
+            grow up.  In addition to my software pursuits I am also a 
+            <a href="http://www.reddin.org">family man</a> and a 
+            <a href="http://www.fattuesdayaudio.com">musician</a>.  If anyone
+            knows of any good methods of cloning yourself, please let me know!
+            I'm happy to be a part of this community and the Apache
+            Way.</p>
