    Bio

    I love WordPress, and I love being part of our community. I’ve been in the world of WordPress since 2004, working as a freelancer, in a small then large agency, as a consultant, leading community at WooCommerce, and now investing in the WordPress ecosystem.

    WordPress Origin Story

    A client of mine back in 2004 needed a blog. I learned about WordPress and jumped right in. I got stuck and went to the WordPress.org Support Forums for help. I got a lot of help! I decided to write a tutorial about my experience, which I shared on the forum afterwards. About a year or so later, that tutorial took off and folks started contacting me to ask for help on their blogs. The rest is history.
