About the Author

Travis Tidwell is the founder and CTO for TMT Digital (http://www.tmtdigital.com), a company that specializes in the development of Flash applications for the Drupal Content Management System. He is also the sole developer for the Dash Media Player (http://www.tmtdigital.com/project/dash_player, http://www.drupal.org/project/dashplayer), which is a media player built specifically for Drupal. As well as contributing to this media player, Travis is also the author and co-maintainer for the FlashVideo module (http://www.drupal.org/project/flashvideo), which is a complete video solution for Drupal.

Travis graduated with a degree of Bachelors of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Oklahoma State University and has worked as an Embedded Systems Engineer for companies specializing in automotive and agricultural GPS products. Travis then fell in love with web development and more specifically with Drupal and Flash, where he has developed numerous sites including http://www.delicioso.com for Food Networks, Ingrid Hoffmann.

In his spare time (which is rare these days), Travis enjoys the performing arts where he sings, plays the guitar, and even tap dances (go to http://www.youtube.com and search for "Soul Man Tap" to see him in action).

Travis currently lives in Des Moines, IA with his beautiful wife Erin, and is the proud parent of a feisty one-year-old named Brycen.
