Welcome errant traveler....
Role at HackRVA
I currently serve as the Director of Communications and Planning. I also do the workshop planning for now until we find a director for education. I formerly served as the president from 2013-2015 until we reorganized to a broader directorship format. If you ever need help with hackrva issues, I can probably help - or point to someone that can.
I write a lot of blog posts, update the website & wiki, upload pictures, and stuff like that. If you want to work on that stuff, PLZ contact me - always need more, and its one of those jobs few want to do but is important!
