Who is IPOM?

Here is a little information about all of the IPOM Staff members. Also check out the IPOM Staff Letters.

PHIL DIBOWITZ - WEBMASTER

Phil is the founder and webmaster of IPOM. It started as a small little idea, and turned into a massive website, and quest for knowledge. Phil handles all the technical aspects: scripts, code, etc., and makes sure everything goes according to plan. Feel free to email him.

I'm currently a Site Reliability Engineer at Google.

I've always been interested in computers, starting when I was 4 and got an Apple IIc (haven't had an Apple since). I also play guitar, sing (I was in school choirs since I was in 5th grade), and hang with my friends. I'm a Rocky Horror Picture Show fan. I currently live in Zurich Switzerland, but I'm from the US.

DAVID ZANGARA - IPOM GIMP

Dave Zangara has been helping out with IPOM since before I can remember. There was no official 'joining the team' for him, it just kind of happened. You can catch Dave online on AOL as Zangfam.

I love Metallica. All I do is listen to Metallica, and read about Metallica, and live Metallica. God, Family, Metallica, my fucking creedo. I wish I played guitar, but I'm too fucking uncoordinated, but I swear on my grave I'll learn to play before I die." He's the vulgar, overactive, maniac of the team!

OTHER

A few other people who aren't part of the IPOM Staff have really done a lot for IPOM. Liz Ross is responsible for many of the original graphics on this site, prior to Pablo joining the staff. Pablo was our "Graphics Prince" for a while, and helped us with our move to ipom.com. Dan Walpole has been more than generous with the massive amount of knowledge and Metallica dates in his brain! Chapter Inc. has also been a major help with info and support! Josh Ashman has shared those long hours trying to decipher Load and Reload and Garage Inc. lyrics with Phil! My apartment-mate Tim has donated his time and talents to add new graphics to the site as well. Previous staff members include Lana Morganella, Anna Watts, Matt McKenzie, Nathalie Palmetshofe, and Pablo Corona.
