    Bio

    I a member of the WordPress Accessibility Team, a non-prolific WordPress
    core contributor and organizer of the Tulsa WordPress Meetup. I’ve been
    involved in web development since 1998 and has been a member of the
    WordPress community since 2011.

    Accessibility in web design became a passion when my son lost his vision
    at age 15. Since then I have learned all that I can about how to build
    accessible sites with a particular emphasis on users with low vision.
    When I’m not working with the WordPress open source project I build
    custom WordPress sites for wonderful clients. I have had the
    privilege to work with clients like System Center Central, Mozilla,
    and Microsoft among others.
