Had a wonderful time at WordCamp Miami this year!  My first time in Miami and I had a wonderful time hanging with both new and old friends.  Below are my slides from my talk yesterday on “WordPress the Right Way.”

So I guess you could say I’m taking my talents to South Beach?  Okay that was lame.  I am humbled and excited to be a part of WordCamp Miami 2013!  This event will be taking place on April 5-7th in Miami, FL.  Tickets will go on sale very soon so if you are in or around the area you will want to act fast as they will be sure to sell out!

My session will be a high level look at how to efficiently approach a WordPress project.  I will be sure to post the slides ahead of time for the talk so the folks in attendance can follow along with my talk.

If you are headed out to WordCamp Miami let me know!  I’d love to talk shop and hang out!

See you in Miami!

Fresh from WordCamp Phoenix 2013.  We had a blast and were extremely happy to be a part of the event again this year!  Our hats tip to all of the organizers, sponsors, and volunteers who made this event as awesome as it was.  It was also great to hear such feedback both on Twitter and in person from the WordPress community.

Below are my slides from my presentation.  I will add the video presentation once they go live on WordPress.tv. In the meantime you’re just left with the memories (that is, if you were there).

WordCamp Phoenix 2013

This post is a late notice, but I am proud nonetheless to be speaking at WordCamp Phoenix 2013!  I will say it’s also amazing that I can truly (and unbiasedly) say that WordCamp Phoenix is definitely one of my favorite WordPress events of the year.  I am humbled to be a part and definitely respect the work that the awesome staff and volunteers have done in making this a top event!

My topic will be covering User Experience for WordPress.  I will touch on aspects of where the web is currently and where it’s headed in the future.  I am trying to move the conversation of what part WordPress plays in the shift towards devices and away from the browser.  I’m curious to get your feedback on this.  Feel free to leave comments below that would be helpful to use during my presentation.

Thanks and see you at WordCamp Phoenix!

First off let me say that my experience at WordCamp San Diego was a blast!  I have met so many awesome people from the WordPress community in San Diego and am glad to count them as close friends.  We had a blast at WordCamp San Diego in 2011.  It was the first time attending and I was humbled to have the chance to share on User Experience Design for WordPress.

Take a look at the video and let me know some of your thoughts on UX design below in the comments!

I was privledged to speak at WordCamp Phoenix 2011.  My talk was on WordPress plugins for designers.  At the time I was fairly new to speaking at WordCamps and was a bit green on the vast array of plugins that are available for WordPress designers.

Take a moment to check out the video and the slides to my talk and in the comments below I’m curious to get your thoughts on WordPress plugins and what your favorite is.



We had a killer trip to WordCamp Las Vegas in October 2012!  I spoke on User Experience Design for WordPress and talked towards current trends and future development.  All of which will be feeding the idea of an article I am working on for Code Poet on User Experience and WordPress.  Read the slides below to follow along, the presentation video is coming soon?

How awesome was WordCamp San Diego?  Maybe a bit too awesome to put in just one blog!  We made our second trip to the always awesome event.  Big thanks to the organizers and all the help for another amazing event.  This year WordCamp San Diego was in the spring.  Not that it’s a huge issue, but it’s always nice to look forward to escaping the Phoenix heat and heading out to San Diego.  But then again, there’s never a bad time to visit San Diego!

So this was our second event and second time speaking.  This year I spoke on different case studies for people with different WordPress Theme Goals.  This was of course compiled from our experience with working with so many different types of Custom WordPress Themes.  Feel free to check out my slides from the event below, also be on the watch for the video launching soon!

Hey folks!

Also here are the slides if you would like to follow along at home…

Enjoy folks!

A few months after WordCamp San Diego, we zipped over to WordCamp LA.  It was our first time attending and we enjoyed the event.  Thanks to all of the hard work from Austin and Jeana for putting on a nice event.  This was the second time I gave this talk in my tour of Southern California WordCamps.  This one was executed much better without any Ron Burgundy jokes.
