Jon found WordPress in early 2006 when he started a travel blog to document his journey leaving the corporate world and his subsequent world travels. He quickly realized however that he was far more passionate about writing code than blog posts and drawing on 25 years of computer experience he started teaching himself PHP and WordPress. His learning was further fueled by amazing support from the Southern California WP community and he quickly opened shop as a full time developer. Recently, Jon joined 9Seeds and moved to Maui. Finding no existing local WP community on his new island he founded the Maui WordPress Meetup 9 months ago which has grown to more than 100 members and meets monthly, be sure to drop by on your next visit to Maui!
