Bio

I have been programming since some time in 1982, picked it up as a hobby. I started building Web sites as soon as it was actually possible to do so. I was creating eCommerce sites before the term eCommerce was created. The chance came up to turn my hobby into a career and I took it.

WordPress Origin Story

When I first started working on WP sites I’ll tell you that I honestly thought it was crap. My experience was with inheriting sites that others had built and slogging my way through some of the worst code I’ve ever seen in the 30+ years I’ve been coding. When the company I worked for decided to go exclusively with WP I was very unhappy, but I gave it a chance. What I discovered was that the crappiness of the sites I was exposed to had nothing to do with WP and everything to do with the poor coding by theme developers that didn’t have a clue how to do things properly. I’ve now been working with WP almost elusively for several years. I still dread inheriting crap from other developers, but now I know how to deal with it and understand the reasons it’s crap and how to fix it.
