👋 Howdy.
Builder. Texan. Dad of three girls. Owner of three dachshunds who have zero respect for personal boundaries. Yes, three girls and three wiener dogs. Wasn't the plan but here we are. Happily married to Sam, who deserves a medal. Life is loud, the house is chaos, and I wouldn't change a thing (most days).
I've always loved making things. The engineering, the process, all of it.
People are great at telling you what they want and terrible at telling you what they need. Half the job is looking past what they're asking for and figuring out what's really behind it.
The other half is making it stupid simple. Most people aren't technical, and even the ones who are still want easy. Building software people don't have to think about is the hard part. And my favorite.
I've spent the last decade building products and leading teams. I cofounded WPForms, a form builder powering over 6 million websites, along with WP Mail SMTP, SendLayer, and a few others.
These days I'm deep in AI. It's the most interesting thing to happen to this work in a long time, and I'd rather be building with it than reading about it.
Always up for meeting people who make things, or just talking shop. Reach out anytime.
