# Nine Years Ago Today

Nine Years ago I joined the ExpressionEngine community. I got in on a free license giveaway for the first 1000 people to send an email to EllisLab. At that time I was a web enthuasiast and full time Universty Instructor.

Nine Years ago I joined the ExpressionEngine community. I got in on a free license giveaway for the first 1000 people to send an email to EllisLab. At that time I was a web enthuasiast and full time Universty Instructor.

In the last nine years I have switched careers to full time web developer, attended an EE conference in New York and for a 5 month period was part of the technical support team at EllisLab. I've built dozens of ExpressionEngine sites from 10 site MSM installs to small mom & pop businesses. It's really great to be part of such a great community that is very supportive of both professional developers and hobbyists.

Am looking forward to continuing being a part of this community and meeting more of my peers at the next Conference in Portland this year in October.
