WordPress Origin Story

I’ve always tinkered in building websites. It’s been a side interest of mine since we got our first family computer in the mid 90s.

I discovered WordPress in my college years and wrote many blog posts for sites I built in the mid-00s.

Then I sort of drifted off until quite recently. I rediscovered my love for WordPress when I started helping to lead on innovation within a WordPress plugin company.

I can honestly say, WordPress has changed my life.
