Bio

Been in the web hosting biz since 2000.

WordPress Origin Story

I created my first website in 1998. I began making sites for others using FrontPage, Dreamweaver, and even Blogger. However, my perspective shifted in 2004 when I discovered WordPress.

In the first two decades of this century, I managed two web hosting companies. Because of WordPress, I was particularly engaged in website development starting in 2004, focusing on e-commerce and musician websites. By 2007, I had fully embraced my passion for WordPress.

One of my companies was a sponsor of WordCamp Winnipeg in 2013.
