Steve started Cronen-Townsend Consulting (CTC) in 2009 to assist people in making their Drupal web sites do what needed them to do, using custom Drupal modules and PHP programming.

At the beginning of 2011 Steve joined Imbee, where he is a full-time software engineer further developing their Drupal-based technologies. Currently Cronen-Townsend Consulting is not accepting new clients and Steve is finishing up on-going CTC work with weekend time.

Steve's handle in the Drupal community (and IRC nickname) is crotown. He draws on extensive experience in his approach to problems. Steve communicates straightforwardly about your site while his scholarly background helps him understand the big picture. His experience as a computer scientist and software engineer leads him to deliver solid, complete, well-tested, and documented solutions. And his teaching experience means you will understand what you need to in the end, so you can live and grow with the solutions he provides.
