Bio

I am a WordPress Jack of All Trades kind of person who put in almost three years as a Support Engineer at The Events Calendar. A long time independent WordPress user and builder, I offer WordPress services at WP Facilitate, https://www.wpfacilitate.com/

I am also the founder of Huuhmi Feed at https://www.huuhmi.com/. Huuhmi Feed serves up a wide range of provocative content meant to engage the world around us with humor, insight and a bit of delicious absurdity.

Helping people maintain and improve their WordPress sites is pretty darn meaningful to me.

I have an incredible wife and son. I play soccer, hike, camp, bird, cook, read and play the Ukulele. I write Science Fiction and Poetry.

Fun brag: I can train a dog to be 99.99% reliable off the leash.

Interests

Soccer, Hiking, Camping, Birding, Science Fiction, Poetry, Alternative Country, Dog Training, PC Strategy Games

WordPress Origin Story

1. After graduating from college somewhere near Silicon Valley with a degree in Modern Literary Studies, I learned HTML when Netscape and frames were a thing. I had a small business designing websites for local businesses while I also tended bar.

2. In my 30s and 40s, I taught college Writing for 20+ years (I have a masters in English Lit). Along the way, I designed, set up and maintained many WordPress and HTML-centric websites for grassroots orgs and campaigns. I always preferred the HTML sites as I knew exactly what was going on.

3. Always interested in coding, during Covid, I taught myself CSS, JavaScript and PHP. I loved PHP, but was struggling to find a niche to support myself and find greater substantiation. The answer: the f’ing Amazing WordPress Universe. πŸ™‚

Here I am!
