WordPress Mini-Interview<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. My initial introduction to WordPress was at WordCamp Fayetteville in 2009 or so. I founded the local Kansas City community in 2010 and started hosting WordCamps in 2011.<\/li>\n
  2. I believe strongly that WordPress can be used to help everyone learn and perfect their 21st century skill set. One of the most elusive, but most important, is the skill that allows us to have more effective communication online. With better communication comes better collaboration which is, arguably, the heart of the WordPress project. I am motivated to speak at WordCamps to raise awareness of these skill-honing aspects of WordPress.<\/li>\n
  3. The people, hands down. I’ve never been to a WordPress event (Meetups, training workshops, WordCamps, you name it) where I felt unwelcome. The platform is made infinitely better by the support and encouragement of the people who build it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
