Justin Keiser, Drupal Web Programmer for the Academy of Model Aeronautics, learned about Backdrop CMS at DrupalCamp Asheville in 2019.  Since then he began working on a daily basis with Backdrop in addition to Drupal and WordPress.

A former librarian, he moved https://jaxpubliclibrary.org to Backdrop from Drupal 7 and now works with the Academy of Model Aeronautics managing an array of websites using all three of the already mentioned content management systems.
