What is the name of your company and can you tell us something about yourself?
My company is Mindshare Studios, Inc. I live in Santa Fe with my wife, Lara, and 1.5 year old son, Jack. Other than web development, I enjoy rock climbing, music, biking, and being outdoors.
Can you tell us why you love WordPress?
I love the flexibility and depth of the platform. WP provides a perfect foundation for most small and medium businesses to build a solid, inexpensive web presence on.
What is your topic for WordCamp?
WordPress Security.
What do you hope attendees learn from your session?
I hope attendees realize that security is not something they can avoid paying attention to any longer. I’ve seen an increasing number of WordPress sites get hacked and compromised by malicious code. If this hasn’t happened to one of your sites yet, it is only a matter of time. It’s better to take a proactive approach to security.
How do you use WP in your business?
I have used WP extensively for client projects as well as our own internal sites. It is our go-to solution for most projects because of its huge developer community, flexibility, and accessibility. We have developed over 100 WordPress sites for a really wide range of industries.
