I am both a digital native and a bit of a dinosaur grounded in traditional media and publishing technologies. I have a deep understanding of the history of media tech and a good deal of criticism for its abuses. I've worked with every aspect of WordPress and many other open-source web technologies since their inception. I’ve worked in both the WordPress product and agency ecosystems. I have over 20 years of experience planning, designing, building, and supporting digital publishing and e-commerce websites. I get energized by opportunities to create tools that are fit for use by clients who value clarity and efficiency in their internal and external communication. My left brain probably defines my stronger tendencies, playing creative director to the pragmatic right hemisphere that wants to get down into the details. As a generalist, I can work with and appreciate both engineers and designers. I look for the questions that will unlock better questions. I'm good at breaking down silos, acquiring new skills, training people, leading by doing, collaborating with teams, creating presentations, onboarding clients, writing winning proposals, and consultative selling. I don't get behind people and projects that haven't convinced me of their value.
