Daniel Travis "Coplan" North is a resident of the greater Philadelphia area, Pennylvania, USA. In the demoscene, on the internet and on several listserv groups, he is commonly known as Coplan. A self-proclaimed computer geek from the age of 10 and an audiophile for nearly as long, Coplan derived his alias initially for use on local Bulletin Board Systems (BBS's) on two principals: 1) Aaron Copland was a famous composer who has worked with the Philadelphia Orchestra and 2) Coplan (pronounced: ko-plan), when used by itself, was more appealing without the 'd'.

Coplan Today

Currently, Travis continues to grow in his knowledge and interests in web development. Most of his work these days is done in PHP and MySQL. His interest and participation in the Open Source community continues to expand. But most of the time, he spends time with his family or he focuses (no pun intended) on his photography. He works as a Landscape Architect for a commercial engineering firm in the Philadelphia area. He still follows the PC Demoscene
