About

This is a place for the Baxley family to post thoughts, articles, book chapters, recipes, and more.

I’m Nate Baxley, the tech lead for the family.  I currently the Assistant Director in charge of Web Services for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at the University of Illinois.  I’ve spent over 20 years working on web sites and web applications in suburban Chicago, Kansas City, and Monticello, IL before returning to the area I was born in.   I love to do wood working and projects around the house, which with a 150+ year old house is a constant chore.

We currently live south of Champaign, IL in an old farm house with myself, my wife and our 6 kids. My wife is an aide at the local high school and junior high school.  Of course with 6 kids there’s always a lot going on.  Playing, teaching, learning, consoling, punishing, and other fun parental stuff.
