I&#8217;m also on the support team at affiliatewp.com, where, along with the plugin developers Pippin Williamson and Andrew Sumobi, we help customers with questions about the AffiliateWP plugin. Lastly, I&#8217;m one of the developers at LL Games, a mobile game dev company, in which we&#8217;re presently creating our first large MMO game.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2) How did you get into WordPress?<\/strong><br \/>\nQuite incidentally; it was in the capacity of an end-user that I first became interested in WordPress. I was using a flat-file site structure back in late 2007, and wanted something better. I used MT and Blogger and others, and eventually stumbled onto WP in 2008.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3) What&#8217;s a great experience you had at a WordCamp?<\/strong><br \/>\nWow. I really have no idea where to start with this question. Every conference contains some combination of a great deal of learning, seeing old friends, making new friends, sharing great food and drinks, and usually at least one bizarre event resulting in photos I&#8217;ll regret in 20 years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4) What are your non-WordPress, non-Computer related hobbies?<\/strong><br \/>\nMusic, video game development, cooking, Legos.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5) If you could be any fictional character, who would you be and why?<\/strong><br \/>\nOk, so, in this scenario, would I be the fictional character within their fictional world, or, like the movie <em>Last Action Hero<\/em>, would I be transported to this reality &#8211; the real world? If I have to remain in the characters&#8217; fictional world, I&#8217;d probably first write a short story about someone exactly like me, except I have the mind of a 30 year-old self, in the body of my 10 year-old self. Also I invent a time machine so I can hand that 10 year-old self a Macbook from the future. That way I can invent JavaScript \/ Google. I&#8217;ll do it slowly though, inventing just enough each year to keep things interesting.<\/p>\n<p>Some folks may consider this cheating, though. If so, my fallback answer is Commander Riker of the Starship Enterprise NCC-1701-D.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1) What do you do for a living (company you work for, official title, daily responsibilities, etc.)?
