Since 2008, he's been focused primarily on the iOS app market (with some Android thrown in). He's worked on dozens of apps, starting with the Calorie Tracker for LIVESTRONG.com. He's also been brought in to rescue a number of troubled or failing app projects, with varied success. He's a frequent speaker at the annual 360 iDev iOS developer conference and a speaker and organizer with CocoaCoder.org, the largest Mac and iOS developer meet-up group in Austin, Texas, where he lives with his wife and daughter.
