Career as library director at Babson College in Massachusetts. In the early days of the Internet got an NSF grant to bring Babson on to the Internet. Created their first gopher and web site in the early 1990’s and was involved in the library community to help librarians learn to use the Internet and see the benefits of the web. Have created lots of websites over the years. Have used other platforms, such as Drupal, but in more recent years have found WordPress a successful, popular platform. Currently, I am the webmaster for four other groups—a non-profit genealogical society, an online literary review, a local club, and the CCI community website. Joined the Website Committee shortly after arriving at the community in Fall 2015. Because of my background, I was able to take on the backend tasks that had been done by our original web developer and so we were able to do updates and make changes rather than sending an email and waiting for the developer to find time for us. The site was tightly locked down but I was able to work with the developer and gain trust.
