I am a Python Programmer, father of two beautiful daughters, and am involved heavily in the Python community - currently I am working on PyCon US 2013 as Chair (http://us.pycon.org) - the largest Python developer conference in the world. Additionally, I serve on the Python Software Foundation (http://www.python.org/psf/) board of directors as well as several committees geared towards community education and outreach.

I've also been slowly work on a FAQ about the PSF (http://psf-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/_docs/faq.html).

Other projects I am working on:

• Python.org site redesign
• Several groups and projects focused on making the Python community event better:
• http://pythonmentors.com/
• http://pythonsprints.com/.
• I've worked on (but stalled) on a Python 3 advocacy site

Additionally I work with community members and sponsors as much as possible to get them involved more in the community aspects of Python - either helping them draft grant requests for the PSF (http://www.python.org/psf/grants/) or coaching them on where they can further help or contribute. I work with potential sponsors to help guide them where their contributions can do the most help for the PSF, community, PyCon, outreach groups such as PyLadies, etc.

Additionally I am a Python core contributor (ostensibly for the multiprocessing module).

I work for a company in Natick, MA - Nasuni Corporation, and I sometimes blog for the company. Nothing I say on this site or blog is officially or unofficially endorsed by the company.

I've been lucky to write the forewards to two books - "Dive into Python 3", by Mark Pilgrim and "The Python Standard Library by Example" by Doug Hellmann. I also got to write a fair amount for the now defunct Python Magazine.
