Howdy. 

My name is Jonny Adams and I co-lead the DFW Trello User Group along with @Michael Wolfe.

I am the project manager and applications administrator at Thursby Software Systems in South Arlington. At work I have a project management board to help me organize my project tasks. I also have a board to help keep our support and QA team organized. 

At home I have a few simple boards to manage projects around the house. There is a board for the yard, one for home interior, and currently a board tracking a garage to man-cave project.

For fun, I enjoy playing board games or table top games. Zombicide is my new favorite (I recently went full geek and started painting the mini zombies). It's a blast.

[Michael Wolfe]

Hey there, hi there, ho there!

My name is Michael Wolfe and I am the Server Administrator and Senior Support Specialist at Thursby Software Systems.  I manage several Windows servers including domain controllers, Exchange servers, and certificate authorities along with our internal server that hosts Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket.

Trello has allowed me to keep track of the various tasks that come my way on a weekly and daily basis.  This in turn enables me to give an answer to that looming question of "What did you do last week".  Between my board, and the support board, I can easily manage tasks for special projects, and any specific support related tasks.

Like Jonny, I also use it at home to keep track of house projects, and motorcycle projects.

For fun I enjoy playing music, nerding out with tabletop games and the occasional video game.

Hey everyone! I'm Ashley and I work at Atlassian on the Community team. I'm a big fan of Trello and thrilled that Dallas is one of our first Trello Event cities. 

I use Trello professionally to manage my work, set up team 1:1s, growth planning, and event planning. Personally, I've used it to plan family vacations, make seating arrangements for events (life-changing), and planning wedding ceremonies. I've officiated two weddings and each time worked with the bride/groom to build out personalized ceremonies.

Hi friends! 

I'm Cassie and I'm a Community Manager at Atlassian. I get the pleasure of working closely with the two Dallas Trello leaders Jonny and Michael. I'm excited to see how the DFW Trello community grows!

I use Trello professionally and personally. I was introduced to it at work and immediately fell in love. I'm an incredibly visual person, so to be able to organize things visually is a game changer. All of my day to day tasks are dumped into my personal Trello board and I also have shared boards with other teams for things like design requests and content requests. And of course I created a Trello team and board for all of the Trello leaders I onboard. :)

Personally, I've planned many vacations with friends & family using Trello. Many of them had never used the tool before and are avid users since being introduced. For being such a simple tool, it really is life changing!

I've used Trello with the organizing volunteer team of CreativeMornings/Austin, use it frequently for annual/monthly/weekly goal planning and group vision setting, and have used it to plan for vacations, apartment planning, and volunteer operations. Love hearing about how others use Trello and learning/sharing ideas!

Hi Everyone,  John Stromp here, based in Plano and I support the Indian Global Systems Integrator in the Americas.  I think using Trello would be a good way to plan regular get togethers for those of us located in the Dallas area.

For fun, I like to eat out, enjoy wine, and I play on three ice hockey teams.
