Lead Organizer
Responsible for a number of roles including Lead, Publicity, Design, Printing, Video & A/V, Transportation, and travel details, WordCamp Santa Clarita is a labor of love for Joe.
Joe is a Front-End Web Developer and UX Designer specializing in WordPress solutions. During days he works at Metro LA, 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 a dozen years later.
Joe has also presented topics at WordCamp Chicago, WordCamp Los Angeles, WordCamp Orange County, WordCamp Riverside, WordCamp Long Beach, WordCamp Las Vegas, WordCamp Phoenix, WordCamp US, and hosts the WordPress and Elementor Meetups in Santa Clarita.
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. Items on his bucket list were to start a local WordPress Meetup (check), host a WordCamp (check), and to speak at WordCamp Europe.
