    Bio

    I’m a husband, father, and hacker living in Portland, Oregon, where I primarily contribute to WordPress Core and Gutenberg, garden Trac and GitHub tickets, and help contributors get involved in WordPress testing and development. In my free time, I play drums and pickleball, make cold process soap, and tend my flock of chickens.

    I’ve had the opportunity to serve as:
    – Test Co-Lead for WordPress 6.0, 6.1, and 6.3
    – Test Team Rep for 2022-2023
    – Contributor Day Test Lead/Co-Lead for WCEU 2022, WCUS 2022 (Slack), and WCUS 2023/2024
    – Mentor to other test leads

    WordPress Origin Story

    I’ve been hacking on WordPress since version 2.3. I started with personal blogging for a few things I wanted to share online (like making your own yogurt). Turns out that while I love writing, I’m a horrible blogger, so I eventually found a place helping other folks build and maintain their own WordPress sites.
