    WordPress Origin Story

    It started a long time ago, with a download of a zip file and a cpanel host. I had three separate installs on the same server, so that I could “categorize” my content. Started plugging away at the my-hacks.php file and discovered the world of WordPress. I spent many years working with WPMU, and eventually started doing custom theme and plugin development. Now I do mostly architecture work for enterprise clients.

    I help organize the local meetup group in Boise, Idaho, and have planned multiple WordCamps.
