Since then, JD worked up to the title of Drupal Technical Architect for Genuine, a full service marketing agency. He's active in the local Chicago Drupal community by helping to organize MidCamp, the Midwest Drupal Camp held annually in Chicago, and is a co-organizer of the Drupal Chicago Meetup Group.
