John is the founder of Fokoz Creative Group, a web and graphic design firm in the north Chicago suburb of Grayslake. He is also a co-founder of Barefoot Group, a WordPress plugin development firm.
John has been designing and managing websites since 1996, when Netscape first came on the scene. In 2009 John stumbled upon WordPress while looking for a better solution that didn’t require hiring programmers (sorry if you’re a programmer). The ease of use and SEO friendliness was an instant hit and helped John launch dozens of websites out of the gate.
John lives in Hainesville, IL with his wife and three children.
