    Bio

    I am an avid scuba diver, web developer, and digital marketer. I’ve found treasure on sunken shipwrecks in the Dominican Republic (as chronicled in the book Pirate Hunters by Robert Kurson), and have been on a couple of History Channel shows as a diver.

    Interests

    Scuba Diving, White Water Rafting, Travel, solving problems.

    WordPress Origin Story

    I started developing with WordPress after we started our small marketing company (Duck Diver Marketing) while I was on hiatus from treasure hunting with my associates John Chatterton and John Mattera. Shortly thereafter writing code became a passion, and our full time job. Currently, we develop custom WordPress sites. While we specialize in the scuba industry, we love helping small businesses grow their market share through best practices and good web presence.
