    WordPress Origin Story

    I moved away from contributing to the development of another CMS and started testing and utilizing WordPress in 2006. Quickly, I began creating custom themes and working with local nonprofits to help forge their presence on the internet. After a decade of award-winning development, consulting, and support — I started a new chapter with Automattic in 2018.
