Bio

Hi! I’m Taco and yes, that really really is my given name. I’m married to the most amazing wife and proud father to two amazing daughters (born in 2016 and 2020).
At Yoast, I was introduced to the amazing WordPress community. Now, I’m enjoying more time in the community at Emilia! Outside of work, I love to ride my trials bikes and organize LAN parties (computer events).
