Bio

I like WordPress (both the software and the community) and do what I can to help out with both. I contribute to the Core and Docs teams, and through my local Meetup.

Interests

family, friends, coffee, home school, writing plugins, code reviews, writing docs, talking about WordPress, list-making

WordPress Origin Story

I first started using WordPress in 2009 (2.7.1) when I was managing a 6000-page site in Dreamweaver and deploying with FTP. I knew there had to be a better way to manage content and, after some investigation, decided WordPress was it. After advocating for it at work, I decided to start contributing back to the project through code, talks, and advocating for WP every chance I get.
