Background
I've been building websites for over 25 years and running businesses even longer — 35 years and counting. I'm passionate about creating tools that make a difference, whether it's helping businesses thrive or giving people a way to explore their creativity.
From 2009 to 2021, I co-founded and built Event Espresso, an event management plugin for WordPress. In 2011, our work was recognized when we won the grand prize of $40,000 in the Utah Entrepreneur Challenge — an incredible milestone and a testament to the impact of what we created.
After Event Espresso, I ventured into new opportunities, including purchasing a garage door company. I ramped up its SEO and online presence, leading to significant growth before selling the business and returning to my roots in WordPress product development.
Currently, I'm a Senior Project Manager for several leading WordPress tools, including AccessAlly, MemberMouse, Wishlist Member, and PrettyLinks. I also built the SmartWebUtah plugin ecosystem — a suite of 4 AI-powered WordPress plugins (Feature Builder, Content Engine, Theme Forge, and Agency Hub) designed and developed by the Great Minds agency, a multi-agent AI system I created. One of my favorite projects is AdventureBuildr, a platform I created to let anyone design immersive, AI-driven, choose-your-own-adventure experiences.
At the end of the day, I love solving problems, building innovative solutions, and sharing what I've learned along the way.
