Alex Urevick-Ackelsberg has been working in technology since 1999, and with Drupal since he hooked up with Music for America, a voter education and registration initiative, during the U.S. 2004 presidential campaign. He has helped to create numerous blogs and online communities including Young Philly Politics, a local political blog, Blue Force, a progressive national security site, and Future Majority, which looks at the intersections of youth, culture, and politics. Alex worked at The New School for Social Research in New York City for eight years, where he also received his Bachelors and Masters degrees, both of which focused on psychology, politics, and communications. After he left the New School, Alex worked various jobs in politics and communications, including doing Online Marketing/Internet Outreach for the award winning film The War Tapes, working as the Youth and Cultural Field Organizer for Philadelphians Against Santorum, and managing a City Council race in Philadelphia. In early 2007 Alex decided to pursue Drupal Development full time, and he hasn't looked back since. He lives in Philadelphia with his wife, dog, cats, and a salt-water reef tank that scares his wife half to death every time he's away on business (which is fairly frequently).


Jody Hamilton has been a Drupal developer since 2006. After careers as an analytical chemist and a high school math teacher, she was apprenticed by Philadelphia web design legend Mason Wendell of Canary Promo + Design who first pointed her in the direction of Drupal. While her main interests are writing clean code and problem-solving custom Drupal functionalities, she has strong skills with CSS / theming as well. Prior to partnering with Zivtech as Lead Developer Jody worked freelance as a Drupal developer and consultant, focusing on creating custom functionalities for the sites of other Drupal developers and site-builders. Jody lives outside Philadelphia in South Jersey with her cats, where she enjoys kayaking and song-writing when she ever stops obsessively learning more about Drupal. She graduated from Harvey Mudd College in Claremont, CA in 2000.
