Harry is a long time Joomla! community member, and has been knocking around the IT industry since the days of punched cards and magnetic tapes. He has spent most of his career as a network systems engineer, fooling around with stuff such as protocols, routing, flow control, and other just as boring networking arcania.
In the real world, Harry has a more-than-passing interest in pickup trucks, country music, open source software, and genealogy. He, his first wife, and two terrible terriers live in Northern Virginia about 20 miles west of Washington, DC.

You can find him on Twitter as "harryb_hrpr" and on the Joomla Forum as "HarryB".
