    Talk about a December to Remember, amirite? 😂💪💯 In November of 2024 I started releasing free WordPress® and WooCommerce® plugins, and I liked the way it felt. So I decided to do some more of that in December. I called it a December to Remember, and I used Art the Clown as my mascot, because…

    On this day last year I went all in with WP Dispensary, leaving behind 10+ years of full time freelancing. It was one of the most exciting times in my life, both professionally and personally. I felt a huge weight lifted off my shoulders when I was able to stop freelancing and focus full time…

  • Relentless

    I will hold $1,000,000 in my hands. Bold statement, right? Well, if fortune favors the bold, I plan on cashing in on it. I understand that overnight success doesn’t mean that tomorrow morning I’ll wake up and be rich. I’ve been building websites for almost 2 decades. I’ve been releasing open source code for a…
