Bio

I am a High Energy Entrepreneur, and espresso connoisseur. I am my own Barista LOL….

As a trained engineer, I take my projects and espresso serious….. just as I do the commitments I make to my customers and the services I provide to them.

WordPress is my platform of choice and it’s taking me places I could never have dreamed of…..

Oh….and my BARK is always worse than my BYTE (sic)

Late 2014 I took over Development of Job Manager plugin from Gary Pento. (https://wordpress.org/plugins/job-manager)

WordPress Origin Story

My first involvement with WP started in 2007. The firm I worked for had multiple WP blogs feeding content to hundreds of sites around the country. I supported the marketing team and ran the IT team for deployment and maintenance of these sites. That same year I set-up my 1st site for my wife’s real estate business. Since then I have set up and maintained hundreds of sites for all types of Small and Medium Businesses .
