             asking questions on the user list naturally transformed into
             answering them, which I've been doing ever since. I accepted an
             invitation to become a Struts Committer in June, 2005.</p>

+            
+            <p>I landed an internship in college working with the big blue 
iron where 
+            I dappled in the craft of VSE COBOL and JCL. Through the 90's, I 
worked my 
+            way into several client-server technologies (Visual Basic, 
PowerBuilder and Delphi) 
+            and finally thought that I had learned the last programming 
language I 
+            would ever need to know, Fort&#233; Transactional Object Oriented 
language (TOOL).</p>
+            
+            <p>I rode the Fort&#233; wave for several years and suddenly found 
myself 
+            looking for work and feeling like a real "tool". An empty, dust 
free 
+            self was just the right size for the proprietary distributed 
object 
+            solution once called Fort&#233;.</p>
+            
+            <p>In 2002, is when I found Java. While working a VB assignment, 
+            I decided the only hope I had of getting a competitive edge was to 
+            become a Sun Certified Java Programmer. With that card, I found an 
+            opportunity to become a Struts developer and began lurking about 
the 
+            Struts mailing lists in 2003.</p>
+            
+            <p>In late 2004, I started hearing a buzz about a new Struts 
subproject 
+            and became very interested in the ideas. I also began acquiring a 
stack 
+            of JSF books matching my Struts collection.  My experience with 
Struts, 
+            Tiles and something that Colorado Department of State calls 
Rustts, gave 
+            me the idea that has become known as the Shale "Clay" plug-in. I 
was 
+            invited to become a Struts Committer in July 2005.</p>
