Bio

With over 22 years of experience in web development and digital marketing, I help businesses and individuals build their presence online. My goal is to help businesses make data-driven decisions and accomplish their goals through systems such as WordPress, PPC, social media, and analytics. In my free time, I enjoy hobbies such as photography, travel, and Disney. I believe heavily in the community over competition and push others in the WordPress community to focus on building a community as their first and foremost goal.

WordPress Origin Story

My WordPress career started out back in 2010 with the creation of a simple blog created for writing about my experience with web development, SEO and design. Being a developer, I started tinkering with my theme trying to get it just right. In 2012, I got tired of changing existing themes and started with created my own custom themes. In 2014, I made the decision to move all 300 of my website clients over to a custom WordPress theme framework for their websites. After seeing how this streamlined our company and the quick launch of our WordPress products, I fell deeply in love with WordPress.

At that point, I took the next steps and got involved with the local meetup and local WordCamp. Surrounding myself with like-minded individuals, I have learned so much and decided to give back to the community. I am now an organizer of our local meetup group and local WordCamp. I also travel and speak at other WordCamps to share my experiences with WordPress.
