I have been around a bit - art college for 4 years, freelance illustration, worked in public relations, spent a year restoring antique railway carriages, roadcrewed the Dead Milkmen on one tour, been round the world, currently manage the primary global website for one of the biggest banks in the world.
I came to Expression Engine because as someone I know suggested it as he knew I used Movable Type on a few sites of my own. EE is a great CMS though the initial learning curve was a little daunting! The flexibility though is unequalled and I am now using EE for several sites where there are other authors.
