Chuck Grimmett (@cagrimmett) – WordPress user profile

Bio

I work on the Special Projects Team at Automattic. When I’m not online, I prefer to be hiking, reading, or woodworking.

WordPress Origin Story

I used the famous 5-minute install to set up a blog in 2008 when I was stuck in a hotel one weekend. Haven’t looked back since.
