I’m Head of Support and Community Outreach at WordImpress. We built the Give Donation Plugin which I’m supremely proud of. I’m also a plugin and theme developer.
I have also dabbled in U.S. history, politics and religion, and music. Most importantly, I’m a father of four, husband to one.
I write about all that stuff 🙂
