I’m Craig Berntson. I am a software developer in Salt Lake City and I believe that software craftsman ship is vitally important to our profession and have recently started studying it in detail and promoting it. Not that I didn’t believe in or practice it before. It’s just that now I’m addressing directly. In 1996 I was awarded the Microsoft MVP award and have been awarded every year since then. I am passionate about community and help organize and speak at various community events in Utah and in other areas of the US, Canada, Germany, and Czech Republic. Events I am attending and speaking at can be found on my web site. I am the co-author of the book Continuous Integration in .NET from Manning.

I my spare time (ok, I don’t really have any), I read (mostly technical books), snow ski, and play board games. You can read my blog about boardgaming, Being Meeple.
