I work for an awesome company named Automattic, on what is code-named the "dot org" team. I have a unique job that affords me perspective on community wrangling, large scale communities, and open source development. I am surrounded by greatness and constantly amazed at what my colleagues are able to achieve.

I am leading the development of BuddyPress and bbPress, two sister projects to the WordPress publishing platform.

I currently live on the East side of Providence, RI. with Paul the dog, who is indeed my best friend. (aww...)

I love naps, puppies, chips, and tea. I enjoy traveling, speaking at WordCamps, and generally being helpful whenever possible.
