\"\"<\/a>1) What do you do for a living (company you work for, official title, daily responsibilities, etc.)?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m a freelance nerd-for-hire. With experience in everything from branding and illustration to web development and sysadmin work, I’m basically a “jack of all web-related trades”. I really enjoy working on projects with multiple facets.<\/p>\n

2) How did you get into WordPress?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Spoiler Alert! My talk at WCScranton is actually all about how I got into WordPress and why I’m back to using it today, so you’ll have to wait to hear that story \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

3) What’s a great experience you had at a WordCamp?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Actually, this will be the first WordCamp\u00a0I’ve attended. I’ve been aware of them for several years and always thought they’d be a great sort event to attend, so I’m really excited to be a part of WCScranton and hope to have some great experiences.<\/p>\n

4) What are your non-WordPress, non-Computer related hobbies?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I could ramble on about all my different interests for way, way too long. I’ll keep it short though and say that I love drawing and painting, as well as exploring the great outdoors. My wife and I really love hiking around the Pocono Mountains where we live. There’s some really beautiful scenery.<\/p>\n

Oh and disc golf! I love playing disc golf too. If you don’t know what that is, look it up, it’s awesome.<\/p>\n

5) If you could be any fictional character, who would you be and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Captain Jean-Luc Picard. Obviously. I mean he’s the best of all the Enterprise captains (bring it on Kirk fans!), he had a holodeck to play with, and he got to boldly go where no one has gone before, seeking out new life and new civilizations.<\/p>\n

Ever since I was a little kid I’ve wanted to be an explorer. Space is the final (and maybe the most interesting) frontier. So yea, I think being the starship captain of the Federation’s flagship is as cool as it gets!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
