Astral Awards - [staff]


	Erin is the newest member of the Astral Awards Review Team. Her background consists of fifteen years in the U.S. Navy, ten years working in the corporate world providing training in software applications, and now she owns a small web-design business with more than fifteen clients already on the Web and ten more sites in development. Erin is dedicated to the AP community, as she is also an evaluator for the Korea Award Program, VSDA, Firestarter, and the Saturn Index. Welcome aboard, Erin!	As a professional interior decorator, Carolyn has a particularly keen eye for formal design and color. She is usually one of the first reviewers to visit each applicant website, paying close attention to the over all structure and visual design of the site. She also checks if the website satisfies the basic criteria (i.e. it contains no disqualifying items). Carolyn lives in Boston, Massachusetts, with her husband, Josh, and their two children, Samuel and Jennifer.	Sarah lives in Dallas, Texas, and is a Documentation Specialist for a prominent medical insurance company. She also has extensive graphic design experience, and studied computer science while attending the University of North Texas in Denton, Texas. While visiting applicant websites, Sarah enjoys exploring the content of each site, finding the gems among the stones, and bringing them to the Review Team's attention.	Bruce has spent his career helping companies to improve their sales and marketing efforts. Over the last decade he has focused on eCommerce, assisting clients with design and content and finally making sure that the end result passes his rigorous user acceptance testing. Bruce lives in Denver, Colorado where he enjoys film, music and photography.	David lives in Denver, Colorado, and is the owner and operator of the Astral Awards, as well as one of its two webmasters. David owns his own website and graphic design business and has over a decade of experience in the field. His portfolio includes a wide variety of websites, from business to personal, formal to fashionable, and focused to fun. David also has the unenviable task of gathering together all the reviews from the Astral Awards Review Team, tallying the scores, and then posting the final results for each applicant website.
