    Bio

    A dramatic, sweeping epic of a young man going from rags to slightly more stylish rags. (Views are my own & you can’t have them…wait). He/him/his.

    WordPress Origin Story

    Dabbled in a few small projects over the years, jumped in full-time in 2015 when I moved https://www.houstonpublicmedia.org over to WordPress and started building new stuff around it.
