My name is Ken Brill. I live in central Missouri about 100 miles south of St. Louis. My wife and I run a small 30-acre hobby farm here in Missouri, and I work as a developer from a small, dark corner in my basement. Out here we only have satellite Internet (Viasat) so that's fun. They advertise 25Mbs but I rarely see anything better than 12Mbs. It does the job but I miss my cable modem sometimes.On the farm, we raise about a dozen goats and sheep, 2 cows, 3 horses, 7 dogs (ranging from a Chihuahua and Maltese to a pair of Great Pyrenees, 6 cats of no discernible use, 4 kids (all girls), and a few dozen Chickens, Guinea fowl, Peacocks, Turkeys, and Ducks. We have been at it for 5 years now so we are still learning but it's a lot of fun when it's not freezing outside.
The last 12 years I have specialized in SugarCRM. I began with version 2.5 when a small company I worked for started using it and I have been working on SugarCRM ever since. I had my own consulting company for a few years where I sold a product called 'Sugar Fully Loaded' that was essentially the SugarCRM CE product with several popular add-ons already loaded and merged (no such thing as upgrade-safe back then). I spent 9 years after that working at SugarCRM in different roles and now I work remotely as a senior developer on an enterprise level installation and we are getting ready to roll out version 7.10 next year.
