# Brock Boland

#  Brock Boland 

 Former Senior Developer

 Chicago IL

Brock Boland discovered Drupal in 2009 after years of generic PHP site development. As the saying goes, Brock came for the code but stayed for the community – the welcoming and friendly community of Drupal developers and site builders hooked him in. His first Lullabot training event really sealed the deal though. That's when he knew for sure that the Drupal world was where he belonged.

Brock lived in DC for a number of years, and became very involved in the Drupal community there by helping to organize events like meetups, CapitalCamp, and Drupal Ladder sprints. These days, he's spending more of his free time learning to code for iOS and planning mobile apps to pair with Drupal sites.

Prior to joining Lullabot, Brock worked for [Jackson River](https://www.jacksonriver.com/) and built sites for non-profits like [EMILY's List](https://emilyslist.org/), [Amnesty International](https://www.amnestyusa.org/), [Drug Policy Alliance](https://drugpolicy.org/), and [International Rescue Committee](https://www.rescue.org/).

Brock recently moved to Chicago after a brief stint in Denver while his wife Erin trained to become a Ruby on Rails developer. Now that they are both web developers, their conversation tends to makes even less sense to the casual eavesdropper. When not coding or hanging out with their dog Lola May, Brock and Erin like to explore their new city.
