    Bio

    Hi!

    I work at DreamHost. I spent a long time in the marketing world, but these days I’m focused on corporate communications, PR, and creative branding. I’ve been in the hosting world for over two decades and am always interested in meeting and hanging with other hosts in our little niche industry!

    I was a Communications and PR team member for WordCamp US in 2022 and 2023. In 2024 I led the team. In 2024 I was an Attendee Communications team member for WordCamp US.

    WordPress Origin Story

    I knew WordPress when it was just a wee baby!

    I started blogging in static HTML back in the 90s and *knew* there had to be a better way.

    I hopped across blogging platforms for years until I found WordPress, and it was love at first sight.

    Self-hosted open source tools are key to the future of the Open Web, and WordPress lies at the center of it all. I’m just happy to be here!
