Introducing myself
 

I thought I would drop by and say hello.


My name is Adrian Harris, I work for vBulletin, I think the title on my desk says "Senior Operations Manager", but it essentially means I am responsible for overseeing the business side of vBulletin which includes customer service, marketing etc. etc.

To be a little self indulgent, a bit about who I am.
I am Australian (Tasmanian to be precise :) ), but live in Los Angeles and work in vBulletin's head office, I got "into" vBulletin back in 2004 when I was made a moderator of a vBulletin community (ford-trucks.com) I was a member of... it progressed to being a super-moderator, then an administrator of the site.
Internet Brands (vBulletin's parent company) purchased the site, and I was offered a position to oversee the community side all of their automotive forums, of which there is about 90 - I left my "day job" at Ford Motor Company and moved to the US. Fast track another 2 years and I was presented with an opportunity to work on the vBulletin team - which I jumped at!
I sadly don't have experience with programming, apart from CNC Machine code and a bit of C programming for robots, I have a healthy appreciation for it. My designing experience is limited to Microsoft Paint - where I can expertly craft the dogs breakfast of your choice :p


Anyhow - I would like to drop by every now and then (if you will have me!), as I think you have a great community here, and I would love to participate and see how we (vBulletin) can help support it further.

I would love to hear a little about all of you!
