Ryan Markel hails from St. Louis, the Gateway to the West. He’s been blogging in some form or another since the turn of the millennium, eventually learning and loving WordPress. After trying his hand at such careers as exegete, retail TV salesman, and digital strategist for a traditional publisher, he currently works as a Happiness Engineer at Automattic, helping users of the WordPress.com service. In his spare time he enjoys the study of games and game design, performing the works of the baroque, being part of Cardinal Nation, and helping his wife (try to) control his five children.
