Bio

I started my journey with WordPress more than 10 years ago with a simple travel blog on WordPress.com. That first foray evolved into being a freelance developer and eventually the owner of 9seeds a WordPress development focused digital agency.

At the start of that path into WordPress lay the Orange County WordPress Meetup and WordCamp Orange County, both which played an critical role into my second/third career.

Later I moved to Maui, Hawaii where I founded the Maui WordPress meetup group and 5 years later organized the first (and only) ever WordCamp Maui. Now I’m back to being a full time digital nomad traveling the globe and running 9seeds from wherever I can find decent wifi.

I still attend a lot of WordCamps from Bangkok to Warsaw, and still quite a few in the US as well.

Interests
