CHCS' Martin Potter Gets His Degree

I don't usually talk about our staff very much, but for this news I'll make an exception. On Saturday, CHCS programmer and co-owner Martin Potter will receive his bachelor's degree in computer science from Western Washington University in Bellingham.

Martin is already a superb programmer, and has been, since before he joined CHCS in 2000. He has created many tools that allow us to do what we do. Notably, Martin suggested that we produce a content management system at a time when the commercial alternatives were either limited in features, very hard to use, or beyond the budget of our customers. He developed the CMS we use today. In addition, Martin has developed a number of custom products for specific clients, including e-commerce, search, and membership applications.

In addition to his academics and his work for CHCS, Martin has often been the primary caregiver for his two-year-old son. (He seems to have a clock with about 28 hours in the day...)

Please congratulate Martin as he walks* across the stage at WWU to get his diploma!

*Hobbles, really. He broke his foot a few days ago while playing with his son. But Martin says he's going to try to walk the stage without crutches.
