Following two years serving as CEO at Treehouse, I transitioned to a full-time role as partner at Xenon Partners. Prior to joining the Treehouse team I spent four years as CTO at DreamFactory, creator of the popular namesake API management platform. Prior to DreamFactory I spent two decades building solutions spanning the architectural, agricultural, publishing, and telecom industries.

I'm also author of several books, including:

• Easy Laravel, Third Edition
• Beginning PHP and MySQL, Fourth Edition
• Easy PHP Websites with the Zend Framework, Second Edition
• Easy PayPal with PHP
• Easy Active Record for Rails Developers

I'm co-founder of the CodeMash Conference, although after 8 years I stepped away from daily involvement.

Founder of EmailReputationAPI, because I'm sick of bots and other unwanted leads wasting time.
