Bio

I’m a work-from-home dad, technical writer, screencast creator & web tech. I work a lot with WordPress. I build sites primarily in the natural health niche.

WordPress Origin Story

I wanted to stop hand coding web sites from scratch, and I was never a great designer (so having themes is handy), and I like the idea of a CMS that is updated all the time by all kinds of people. WordPress was the first CMS I tried because it was available as a “1-click” install with a host I was with back in the day… and after a dozen or so others that I tried, I came back to it. It has come a looong way since I started using it. Love it!
