Bio

I built my first website in 1997. I enjoy practicing martial arts (kung fu), hiking, and video production in my spare time. When I travel I spend more time in museums than on the beach.

I deliver the highest quality with impeccable customer service. The websites I build are among the most sustainable in the world as measured by Ecograder.com. Each website includes a thorough report on compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.

I am passionate about Sustainable Web Design and ADA Compliant Web Design. As of 1/1/2025 Empowered Marketing is Doing Business as WP Tech Guru.

WordPress Origin Story

I built a site with Joomla and hated it. So I tried WordPress and fell in love. I bought many books most of which would make sense now but were so far over my head back then I sold them as used “almost new” books. Now I understand so much more after using WordPress every day for over a decade.
