Bio

I’m just a fun guy when I want to be. A bit of an introvert, even though I do love people of all kinds. I also love to code, play with WordPress, and helping people find solutions. Thinking outside the box is normal for me.

If I’m not messing around with WordPress or watching NCIS/Star Trek or other cool shows (mostly WP and TV go together in my office), then I’m probably eating or sleeping, or taking time off to spend with family.

WordPress Origin Story

Back in the late 90’s I used to build sites with PHP, HTML, CSS etc. and a client of mine way back in 2005 asked me to help him and I had no clue what WordPress was. After helping him and realizing I could save about a month of dev time by using WordPress I jumped in head first and have never looked back. I still like to dabble with code though.

I have been earning a full time living helping clients with WordPress and also heading up a support team for a very popular WordPress page builder for some time now.
