I'm a Principal Consultant and a member of the core team at RoleModel Software where I work alongside Ken Auer and the other software craftsmen who use Agile techniques to build excellent custom software for our clients. I sold my first software program in 1991 and have been immersed in software ever since. I've made a career out of helping teams find and fix their process blind spots.

I've authored and coauthored a number of books, including the best selling Ship It! A Practical Guide to Successful Software Projects and Career 2.0: Take Control of Your Life. I'm a frequent speaker at software conferences and a thought leader in the Agile space. I live with my wife and children in North Carolina where they recently, quite by accident, became backyard chicken farmers. I'm on the web at AgileArtisans.com.
