Article fails WP:NOTABILITY, WP:ATHLETE, and WP:CONFLICT. This article mostly gives reference to sources created by the subject. Other references are made to the same small group of individuals with whom the subject collaborates on projects described in the article. While such a specialized community may be notable, in this case the subject does not seem to have sufficiently wide notability to be included in Wikipedia. It appears that this is a type of boutique article designed to promote the subject's notability and personal projects. Indeed, it appears that the article was created by one of the people (Draper) referenced as a source. An additional note to my comments above concerns the significance of the achievements listed in the article. While there is no reason to doubt the veracity of the subject's record, these achievements appear to be relatively minor in nature, known to only a small group of individuals. There are certainly thousands of individuals who have made similar accomplishments in this and other fields, but that fact does not mean these individuals should be included in Wikipedia. Such individuals are far too numerous and their accomplishments far too ordinary to achieve the level of notability envisioned by the nature of Wikipedia. Indeed, if a such individuals were included in Wikipedia, then it would become little more than a database listing the rather mundane biographies of the majority of people alive today. How does one conclude that a certain achievement is minor? A simple search of the Internet reveals if an achievement is of such limited significance at to exclude its designation as being notable. For example, if I produce a podcast that is the 70th most popular podcast in the technology category on iTunes, I would argue that most people would regard me as not being sufficiently notable to be included in Wikipedia. The subject of this article does not even seem to reach the level of notability I described in my example.
