Hey Austin!
If you want to give a shout out as to what you do and how you're working with Drupal, that would be great!
During our meetups, we really don't have time for attendees to share detailed intros with the group. We tried intros at one of our meetups and, in the process, consumed over an hour when we could have been learning or teaching others about Drupal.
As a result, intros at future meetups will be great if they're no more than 10 seconds long each to provide basics such as your name, your organization, and what you're doing/hoping to do with Drupal, e.g. "Hi, I'm Walt Esquivel, I'm with Wellness Corps, and I'm using Drupal to help me establish a wellness presence primarily through Organic Groups." For everything else intro-related that you want to share with the Austin DUG, please do it online. This page is the place for you to do it! :)
So, feel free to provide whatever you'd like here on this Austin intro list. Here are some ideas:
- Name
- Organization (company, school, non-profit, government, etc.) you're with & what you do there for a living
- Link(s) to your Drupal website(s) (personal and/or organizational website(s))
- What you hope to accomplish with Drupal
- General background
- Education
- Hobbies
- Etc.
I'll take the lead by saying my name is Walt and I've started a company called Wellness Corps. I'm the founder and president of my one-man company so I do everything from installing Drupal modules to taking out the trash. :) With Drupal, my goal is to establish wellness-related groups all across our wonderful planet! :)
I like working with Drupal because it's easy to set up and provides so many contributed modules for customized functionality. My company's website is bare-bones at the moment as I just uploaded a few modules after trying them out on my test website. Come back in a week or two and it will be much more presentable.
My previous experience includes marketing, sales, consulting, and logistics, among others. I have an MBA in marketing/information mgt and an MA in human resources. I served in the Marine Corps as an officer for 8 years and there's more info about me than you ever want to know on my LinkedIn page. (Speaking of LinkedIn, please connect to me via LinkedIn so we can stay in touch.)
I see myself as helping others by setting up Drupal meetups to assist in the training and support of Drupal users/learners. How about you? How do you expect to give back to the Drupal community? Whatever it is, thanks in advance!
Walt Esquivel, MBA; MA; President, Wellness Corps; Captain, USMC (Veteran)
