He was initially drawn to the magic of using code to create web art, added in his love for relational databases, and has spent his career building websites with an unwavering commitment to structured content. When Stephen isn't at his desk, he's often running to and swimming in Barton Springs Pool, getting a bit too wound-up at Austin FC games, and playing Legos with his little one. Karen Horrocks Karen (she/her, karen11 on drupal.org and Drupal Slack) is a Web and Database Developer for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, a nonprofit dedicated to saving and improving human and animal lives through plant-based diets and ethical and effective scientific research. Karen began her career as a government contractor at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center developing websites to distribute satellite data to the public. She moved to the nonprofit world when the Physicians Committee, an organization that she supports and follows, posted a job opening for a web developer. She has worked at the Physicians Committee for over 10 years creating websites that provide our members with the information and tools to move to a plant-based diet. Karen is a co-moderator of NTEN's Nonprofit Drupal Community.

In the lead-up to this recording there was a media server failure that brought down the entire site. They worked as furiously as Santa's elves and were able to quickly get the site back up. It was a reminder for me of how much we all (and this segment in particular) depend on the tireless work they do. In this season of giving please consider supporting the Drupal Association, and if you already do, maybe see if you could give a little more.
