Danny Pfeiffer started off his career as a developer, after which he transitioned to working as a contractor doing information architecture and usability work for Fortune 500 companies across the country. This experience, while sometimes dry, underscored the importance of architecture and proper planning as part of the overall project cycle.

With over 10 years of web development experience, Danny has amassed a tremendous wealth of knowledge, dating back to the days of tables, iFrames, and server side includes. These days, he focuses primarily on building dynamic websites and applications using the latest technologies, HTML5, CSS3, AJAX, PHP, MySQL, and of course, Drupal.

In 2007, Danny had drawn enough boxes and arrows, and decided to apply that experience towards a new venture, focused exclusively on Drupal development. He and his brother, Mike, started Denver-based Rehab Creative and enjoy continually introducing new clients and staff to the exciting world of Drupal.

James Roughton , MS, CSP, CRSP-R, CHMM-R, CIT, CET, Six Sigma Black Belt, <>, received his Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from Christopher Newport College, and his Masters in Safety Science degree from Indiana University of Pennsylvania ( IUP ).

James is also a published author. Two of his most notable books include, Developing an Effective Safety Culture: A Leadership Approach and Job Hazard Analysis: A Guide for Voluntary Compliance and Beyond . He is currently working on a new book Developing an Effective Safety Culture: Implementing Safety Through Human Performance Improvement , which is to be completed by December 31 2012.

In addition, he is looking to develop a new book on social media that will outline all of the useful productivity tools on the Internet, such as dropbox, evernote, Google alerts, Google reader, and so on, that he has found. Based on his experience and presentations, these elements are not considered as a part of social media, and therefore, are not usually on the radar as productivity tools and he wants to change this perception.

As he sees it, there is the need for a more practical, down-to-earth guidance that weaves together the numerous techniques and methods necessary for understanding the social media in a different light. His goal is to help individuals get from point A (having a strong professional expertise but limited knowledge of social networking) to point B (where they can use your new knowledge to enhance and broadcast their message to their intended audience more effectively).

This idea was formed from his personal vision and research:

To live my life with PURPOSE and the PASSION to help others succeed.
