Bio

Mims (yes, that’s his real name) was born a curious Southern boy in Mississippi. Since he moved to New York in 2002, he’s worked on magnificent interactive projects for clients ranging from ‘mom and pop’ to ‘evil empire’. Now, with a strong sense of irony, he has achieved veteran status before the age of thirty.

A Flex and Flash developer for over 8 years, Mims is the co-author of the ActionScript 3.0 Bible. He is the creator and lead architect of the KitchenSync library for tweening and sequencing in ActionScript 3.0 and the senior editor at the Flash development blog dispatchEvent().

Mims is a natural organizer and problem solver whose best insights occur to him in the shower… a balanced mix of cave-dwelling developer and out-of-the-box designer. He does not believe in limitations of the medium, unnecessary meetings, or flash intros.

Mims presently resides in Brooklyn, NY Los Angeles, California where he makes websites for cash.
