Pat

Pat is the Design Chief & Accessibility Guru Extraordinaire for slash25 code. Specializing in standards-based design, Pat believes in making code that works… beautifully. He leads the Austin WordPress meetup group and is active in Refresh Austin, a group of Web professionals “refreshing” the creative, technical, and professional aspects of their trade. Pat serves as both an adviser and trainer for Knowbility’s Accessible Internet Rallies. He’s been a speaker on the topics of accessibility and web standards at events around the country.

Pat enjoys traveling, cooking and a well-made cocktail. He also enjoys the occasional cigar (not during allergy season, though). He’s a Native Texan and a conversational speaker of Spanish – well enough to get around Central America.

If you’re at SXSW Interactive, it’s not hard to find Pat. Just look for the guy in a kilt and see if he’s got a Texas accent.
