Bio/Description

I’m an admin of the Advanced WordPress Group on Facebook. Along with many other groups on FB. Lead Organizer of WordCamp Vegas 2015 & 2016. Lead Organizer of the Vegas WordPress Meetup Group. I work at WebDevStudios as a WordPress Support Technician.

I’ve spoken at many WordCamp events and helping others with WordPress is what I do.

I’m trying to become a better role model and you can read my post about it.

WordPress Origin Story

During my freshman orientation, the head of the English department spoke to us. She said that it takes brass balls to work in the business of journalism. “You have to write for both sides of the story. You have to write about compelling topics and you need your own website. No one will publish your articles online unless they have something to read. It’s also how you build a following”. After hearing this wonderful and terrifying speech, I asked myself “How do you build a website”? I was no longer interested in becoming a journalism major. I switched over to computer sciences and I’ve been there ever since.

I started out like many others. I was building MySpace band layouts. I would create table based layouts all day. I would use the blog feature on MySpace to share my triumphs and failures. After writing my first 50 blog posts, a friend of mine showed me WordPress.com. I signed up for free and I started to blog over there. After my next 50 blog posts, the same friend showed me how to install WordPress on my own website. Since that day, I’ve spent every minute of every hour learning WordPress. I’m obsessed, to say the least.
