This info is pulled from my Adobe Community Experts bio, formerly at http://www.adobe.com/communities/experts/members/charlie_arehart.html. Now that Adobe points to our groups profile from the experts page (http://www.adobe.com/communities/experts/all.html), we needed to move that info here. Sorry if it seems an awful lot compared to other more typical Adobe Groups profiles. This move has at least given me the chance to update some things.
