\nI am a developer, and I run my own Managed WordPress Support site.\u00a0We support WordPress. Our Geeks are here to help you take back the control of your site, and learn how WordPress works.<\/p>\n

Tell us a bit about yourself and how you use WordPress<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am a 26 year old WordPress Developer that only takes a break for Nascar, Coca Cola and Nascar. I use WP to manage clients, supporting questions asked by clients, task management and obviously, Building terrific sites. I would learn other Content Management Systems, if clients asked. They Don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

What will you be speaking about?<\/strong>
\nI will be talking about the plugins that anyone can use for free to add features to any theme. These Include, but are not limited to: Contact Form 7, Lightbox Plus, and JetPack.<\/p>\n

Who is your target audience?<\/strong>
\nThe day to day WP users that want to learn about the advantages they can gain by using some of the most popular plugins.<\/p>\n

What do you hope the WordCampers will get out of your session?<\/strong>
\nI hope that Campers will learn more about plugins and how they add something specific to their theme, site and or company blog\/site.<\/p>\n

What is your favorite WordPress Plugin?<\/strong>
\nI have two. Gravity Forms for obvious reasons, and WooCommerce. These two do something very unique. But you can combine them and make some truly awesome and powerful websites.<\/p>\n

Do you have a WP hero?<\/strong>
\nAs in one? No! I have a few! Matt Mullenweg, John Hawkins, Austin Passy, Ryan Imel, Dre Armada and Sarah Gooding.<\/p>\n

Tell your favorite WordCamp story!<\/strong>
\nAfter WordCamp, WordCampes attend a social function at a local bar as long as you are of age. So Last year we went to the Freakin\u2019 Frog and I met Mathew Prince, CEO of Cloudflare. I had a beer with Colin Lortez and consumed 3 $12 beers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
