Hello, I'm Doug Less
Welcome to the personal website and weblog of a modern day armor bearer.  In biblical days, an armor bearer was one who actually carried the shield and armor of his leader.  Armorbearing is an attitude of service. As a modern day armor bearer I have been called to help others with life, ministry, business, technology, and especially in the fight of faith.

My Talents...

  • By day I work for Perficient, a leading information technology consulting firm. I am a Sr. Solution Architect involved in managing, designing, and delivering business-driven technology solutions.
  • By night, I’m an Open Source CMS Freelancer. I do some after-hours/weekend work with Joomla, Drupal, and WordPress based sites. Personal blogs, small businesses, and not-for-profits are a specialty.
  • I also dabble in a couple of Open Source eCommerce suites. I can help with catalog setup, credit card billing integration, and detailed reporting.
  • On the weekends, I serve as the volunteer Media Director for Connection Church where I manage pretty much anything technical. My desire is to let my gifts in management and technology to push forward my vision of seeing people lives changed and God glorified.
