Bio

I work as a blogger, social media manager, and managing owner of a gaming and hobby shop in the little town of Kerrville, TX. (Hi ya’ll!) For the past 6 years, I’ve offered ghostwriting, blog management, and social media management services to companies around the globe. My current focus is helping other bloggers get started on the right foot.

WordPress Origin Story

It’s insane to think I’ve been blogging on WordPress for almost 15 years. I came across WordPress while looking for an affordable way to host a flexible website without having to pay for a custom solution. It started as a school project where we learned how to design a website and turned into an extensive hobby. While my main focus has always been writing, WordPress has continuously provided a way to provide affordable, easily manageable sites that look awesome.
