Matthew Lechleider
Hi, my name is Matthew Lechleider and I am a product of the Nintendo Generation. I have spent 10 hours online everyday since before the Internet was cool. I enjoy speaking at conferences, skateboarding, snowboarding, my dog, and Drupal. I founded the Chicago Drupal Meet Up Group and our annual DrupalCamp Chicago. I provided professional Drupal training services through our local Drupal community for Global Training Days in Chicago. I achieved a bachelor's degree of science from DePaul University with a major in Computer Science / Network Technologies. My role as organization admin for Drupal's initiatives for Google Summer of Code and Code-In kept me busy for a few years and my full time job as President/CEO for an open source web development company Lechleider Mitchell LLC focusing on Drupal specializing in high availability auto scaling hosting solutions has become a hobby. These days I'm focused full time helping Drupal agencies grow into the next generation of Drupal development. I even wrote a book about Drupal 8.
