Bio

I started my journey with WordPress 15 years ago with a simple travel blog on WordPress.com. That was to document a year sabbatical I took from my career as a Civil Engineer to travel. That foray into long term travel sparked a desire to be a full time “digital nomad” before the term existed.

That drove me to turn my life long hobbyist programing skills into real profession programming skills, then going from a freelancer to eventually the owner of 9seeds a small WordPress development focused digital agency.

At the start of that path into WordPress lay the Orange County WordPress Meetup and WordCamp Orange County, both which played a critical role into supporting my career transition.

Later I moved to Maui, Hawaii where I founded the Maui WordPress meetup group and 5 years later organized the first (and only) ever WordCamp Maui. Now I’m back to being a full time digital nomad traveling the globe and running 9seeds and it’s all remote worker staff from wherever I can find decent wifi.

Interests

Travel, Photography and a lot of outdoor stuff…. especially ocean based outdoor stuff.
