Bio

I have been working with WordPress since about 2008 developing custom websites and solutions for small to medium businesses and organizations.

I run both Flaunt Your Site (a custom site agency), and Flaunt Sites (template websites for photographers).
I’m also currently the lead organizer for the San Diego WordPress Meetup.

Interests

Photography, Surfing, Writing, Building motorcycles.

WordPress Origin Story

A developer friend first showed me WordPress at the end of 2004. But I was so used to building my personal sites in Dreamweaver, I didn’t see the appeal.
Fast forward a few years, blogging had exploded and I was looking to build a new site for my photography company, and after looking at what was available, I settled on WordPress. From there I started building websites for other photographers, that eventually turned into my main source of income, and Flaunt Your Site was born.
