Drupal Trainer, Consultant, Developer, Community Organizer, SynapticBlue Inc. President

I TEACH & DEVELOP Drupal!

For many years now, I've been helping institutions of Higher Education, State & Federal Governments, & Private Companies to leverage Drupal solutions. Training, Consulting, & Developing Drupal is all I do, and I do it a lot!

NASA, The US Federal Court, Highlights Magazine for Children, The Ohio State University, Cal State, A.C.T. & many others have counted on me to deliver Drupal in a practical and engaging way. Whether onsite or remote, let me help you get where you want to be in your Drupal adventure.

BIO

I entered Geekdom as a fifth grader in 1983 with a Commodore 64 & a 300baud connection to CompuServe. 31 years later I started the Indiana Drupal Users Group & develop websites in Drupal and teach Drupal full-time.

Catch my blog at www.DougVann.com. Google "Drupal Song," and you're likely to find a few videos of me, jamming on the guitar, unabashedly proclaiming my passion for Drupal!

My love for learning and experimenting in Drupal is overshadowed only by my love to teach and evangelize it. I have presented in Minneapolis, Toronto, Indianapolis, Ohio LinuxFest, DoItWithDrupal, and DrupalCamps in New York City, Madison, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Oakland, San Diego, Charlotte, Chicago, Orlando, Nashville, Chattanooga, Denver, etc.
You can often find me on the FREENODE IRC Network in Drupal-support helping people get through the learning curve of Drupal.
I reside in Indianapolis, Indiana with my wife of 18 years, & our 4 children.

Specialties: Individual training, Corporate training, Module development, Project discovery, Information architecture, Site Development.

Being a good geek is not enough in this high-tech era. I understand that technology means business & business means money. Wether I'm training you, building your project for you, or building your project with you, I understand that you have expectations that the final product will deliver solutions and positively impact your business.
I make sure that happens.

I live, eat, sleep, and eat Drupal! I've delivered training to NASA, The US Federal Court, many major Universities, etc. I believe in the power of Drupal to empower individuals and organizations to own their own websites while they leverage a scalable, flexible platform.

Doug was a lifesaver, I had been working in a Drupal issue for several days, had worked with many other mentors and we couldn't find the problem. Doug pushed through with me until we finally solved it. I recommend him 100%.

Douglas was able to take something rather complex to me, and explain how to accomplish my goals efficiently. Super knowledgable about Drupal and how it works. I met with him December 6, 2022 and he was super helpful then too!!! 10/10. I would definitely meet with him again.
