I can’t offer you fast response times to your message but I can offer you a real response. This isn’t a “you will receive a response in 1-2 business days” contact form- this…| agm
For a few months now, I’ve been wanting to try out Willow, an AI voice to speech tool. I finally downloaded the free version a few weeks ago and have yet to actually use it. Time and time again, I run into the fact that I think best when writing and spend much of my […]| agm
Last Sunday, I grabbed my cleats and drove to a saved location in Google Maps called “Sunday Soccer” around 2pm. I didn’t check with anyone ahead of time to see if folks would be there, even though it had been nearly two years since I last played with this crew. Somehow, I knew they would […]| agm
As part of my passion project of uniting WordPress YouTubers and growing stronger connections between the WordPress project and content creators, I’ve petitioned and kicked off a new slack channel dedicated to #content-creators.

I talked on the phone for roughly 8.5 hours this weekend, partially due to an unexpected 6.5 hour drive where I decided to pretend I wasn’t an introvert and dialed people at random. I ended u…| agm
Every summer, I head to Hendersonville, NC to spend time with members of my family ranging from tiny toddlers to an aging Aunt. It’s also where I first fell in love with wood carving. I dedic…| agm
Last week in a WordPress slack community, I was asked a question publicly about my job. I love questions and, inspired by being asked about my job, I am writing this post to share a bit about what …| agm
This past September, I crossed 6 years of working for Automattic, the parent company of WordPress.com, Tumblr, and more. I love talking about Automattic and the unique culture that has made our dis…| agm
16% of Automattic has been cut. 281 people across 90 countries. Each person impacted has a unique story and many valuable skills. I can’t possibly tell you about all of them, but after more than a …| agm
For the last 3-4 months, I’ve convened a group of loves ones together to talk about chronic conditions. We jokingly call our group chat “Chronic Comrades” and, after today’s…| agm
Depending on who you talk to and when, you might hear the refrain that the WordPress is moving too fast or too slow. The sentiments are often held so strongly with each side expressing dismay. An e…| agm
