I’m an Arizona expat living in Southeast Missouri for the past decade and a half. I’m a full-time freelance website developer with a near 100% focus on WordPress based solutions. I’ve been working with WordPress since version 1.2 and I’ve been earning my sole income from it since 2008. I primarily make full custom websites for small businesses and small ad agencies who do not have in-house developers. I code themes for websites, adhering as much as I understand to WordPress best practices and I write custom plugins to add features that should not be built into themes. Recently I have started getting involved in the WordPress community and have joined the WordPress ThemeReview Team, where I learned that my understanding of best practices was, at best incomplete. and I am working to improve my code based on what I am learning daily as a part of that group.
