| About Me | I care about what I code, and how my applications impact others. I am a driver with a purpose, who was fortunate to have been able to travel and in many countries. After years of working for large companies, I shucked it all. House, cars, stuff, and started my own VIP managed hosting and site application development company. My wife and I are working on building our first Tiny House on Water, and we are Involved in several non-profits focused on environment, education, and health issues. Life is good. When it’s not, I let people know about it 🙂 |

| WordPress Origin Story | I installed my first instance of WordPress when version 1.2 was released. I could see the potential and vision being put into it, and it made for a nice blog site for my personal online writing. Not long after, I went to work as a web developer for a small college IT department. And we adopted WordPress as a means for professors to interact in a more modern direct way with other faculty and students. In fact, I like to think of our work there as a very early example of E-Learning because I wrote plugins that adapted ways to create group discussions on focused topics with doc attachments. WordPress does so many things so well, and I want to get more directly involved in keeping the lead developers focused on innovating and moving forward. |
