Fletcher has been programming since college and enjoys it immensely. Over the years he has started a variety of firms, most in the tech industry. He enjoys coding so much that, in his spare time, has taught software development at San Jose State University, spoken at developers conferences for Microsoft and others, and has taught on-location programming courses throughout the U.S. and abroad. He is also an active supporter of the community having run user groups for years and was active in the founding and continuing success of the Silicon Valley Code Camp, a free weekend long developer conference held each year. In the few hours he is not coding, he loves to ride his bike in the hills, cook, build sets for the local theatre, and spend time with his family.
