    Bio

    Live hard, love hard, work hard, learn hard, play hard… (enter generic sneaker name here)

    WordPress Origin Story

    It all started with a theme, years ago.

    A friend asked that I help manage the tech side of their WordPress blog. Having done some HTML previously I thought: “I can do that.” Digging into the theme I saw variables, arrays and loops — something I had used when learning Pascal back in high school — and I broke and fixed that theme quite a few times… coding commando.

    From there things spiraled out of control, after many books and online courses, projects and clients, I am now a full-stack developer managing a team in Midtown Manhattan.
