Bio

Web/Graphic designer and programmer from Iowa with a passion for how technology is constantly improving communication, expression, and more.

WordPress Origin Story

While I had checked out WordPress in its earlier versions, I started seriously using WordPress with version 2.5 in 2008 and have followed, used, championed, and helped develop WordPress & its ecosystem of themes, plugins, security, support (submitting numerous bug reports, fixes, and enhancements to WordPress core & assorted plugins), etc. while creating hundreds of sites for clients (and myself) over the years.
