WordPress.
Taught by someone
who actually uses it.
15 years. WebDevStudios. Maintainn. Plaza Hotel & Casino. Real WP work. Not theory. I’ll teach you to run your own site, or I’ll run it for you while I teach you to take over.
Learn it. Or let me handle it
while you learn.
Whether you want to become independent or need a pro to stabilize things first, I’ve got a path for you.

- Speed optimization & Core Web Vitals
- Plugin conflicts & white screen fixes
- Site migrations & staging environments
- WooCommerce & e-commerce setup
- Ongoing maintenance (without the retainer trap)
I learned WordPress the hard way so you don’t have to.
It started at a journalism orientation. The professor said: “If no one can find your writing online, no one will publish it.” That sent me down a WordPress rabbit hole at 3am that never really ended.
Over 15 years I went from “how do you build a blog” to backend developer at WebDevStudios, support tech managing 550+ sites weekly at Maintainn, and Full Stack Developer at the Plaza Hotel & Casino in Downtown Las Vegas.
I’m a regular on the WPWatercooler Podcast Network, a WordCamp speaker, and the former lead organizer of the Las Vegas WordPress Meetup. I’ve sat in on the builds, done the support tickets, and I’m also on a WordPress.org plugin. I know this stuff cold. I teach it the same way I’d want it taught to me: straight, practical, no fluff.
