    Bio

    Starting work in IT before WorldWideWeb was invented has given me an interesting perspective on the development of the Internet over the past 40 years.
    If it looks anything like a computer, Ive likely used it ( or owned one ) at some stage.
    If it looks anything like a programming languge, Ive likely coded with it at some stage.
    If it looks like a server or a data center, Ive likey been stuck near it at some stage.

    WordPress Origin Story

    First as a customer
    Then as a developer
    Then as an agency
    Now as the CTO of one of highest performance dynamic managed hosting startups on the planet.
