Profile

With over 30 years of web development experience, and 15 years focused on WordPress, I have a deep understanding of how the web works and how I can make it work for you.

I excel not only at development, but also interpersonal communication, interacting with clients with ease. My skills as a teacher and trainer make it easy for me to communicate both with tech savvy people but also those whose skills lie elsewhere.

I’m looking for roles as a product evangelist, corporate trainer, developer advocate, engineering manager, or WordPress developer.

Work Experience

WordPress

I’ve worked for five WordPress VIP partner agencies, building enterprise level WordPress sites.

Management

I was the Director of Web Technologies at Cornerstone University Radio for 10 years, creating custom PHP/MySQL websites.

Video Content Creation

I’ve created hundreds of videos for sites like OSTraining.com, WinningWP.com, SimplyScheduleAppointments.com and many more.

Community Evangelism / Developer Advocacy

I spent several years at BigCommerce helping to raise awareness of their WordPress product in the WordPress community. Additionally, I worked as a Developer Advocate, building a vibrant online community in Slack.

Education

Bachelor of Religious Education from Cornerstone University
