Lead Organizer
Joe is a Front-End Web Developer and Graphic Designer specializing in WordPress solutions. During days he works at one of the nation’s top-five transit agencies, fighting the good fight to ease the commute around Los Angeles County. When their lead developer and CSS specialist both left to pursue other opportunities, Joe inherited a Headway-themed design (sans child theme) and the rest is history over ten years later with a WordPress blog network consisting of over a dozen project-specific or transit news sites.
Tired (no pun intended) of arriving home from WordPress Meetups around Southern California at 11 pm, Joe founded the WordPress Santa Clarita Valley Meetup to grow Community locally in the valleys north of Los Angeles.
After a life-threatening heart event and a brief leave of absence sparking a journey to rediscover the things that healed and nurtured him led him back to a love of WordPress and all things creative. An item on this bucket list was to host Santa Clarita’s first WordCamp. Check.
