Richard Leggett has over six years of experience with Flash and currently holds the position of senior creative developer at AKQA, London. His passion for everything new is the very thing that led him to Flash Lite in the first place, as Leggett believes mobile technology is the next frontier and the next step in the logical progression of the Web's expansion into every aspect of our lives. He has spoken at several industry conferences including Spark, Flashforward, and the very first Flash on the Beach, as well as being interviewed in magazine articles on the subject of Flash and occasionally speaking at user groups in his native country, the United Kingdom. Leggett tries to remain heavily involved in the Flash community, and you can find him online in the Flash Lite Yahoo Group as well as at his personal web sites: www.richardleggett.co.uk and www.flashmobileforum.org.
