<\/a><\/p>\nAfter switching out of a sales career, I began working with WordPress websites and creating for small businesses and local professionals. I have been doing so for over 5 years now, specializing in secure websites since my very first customer came to me after having a security incident. <\/p>\n
Now I work for Sucuri.net, an industry leader in website security and malware detection, removal and prevention. I work with customers everyday (many of them WordPress users) that have been hacked or infected, and work to re-mediate their security issues and implement a solution to prevent any further infections or attacks.<\/p>\n

Why do you use WordPress?<\/h3>\n

When and how did you start using WordPress?<\/h3>\n
Several years ago, after repeatedly fixing a customer’s old html site, I decided to take the plunge into WordPress and never looked back.<\/p>\n
What would you tell someone to convince them to attend a WordCamp?<\/h3>\n
The collaboration and talent that you see at WordCamps is unmatched in other communities. WordCamps are low cost, highly informative, and are guaranteed to motivate you whatever your goals are. <\/p>\n
What is your favorite part of WordCamps?<\/h3>\n
I always learn something new at WordCamps, so my favorite part is finding the newest piece of knowledge that I can take home with me.<\/p>\n
What has been your biggest WordPress related accomplishment to date?<\/h3>\n
As far as website remediation and malware cleanup goes, I recently worked on and completed my five-thousandth infected or attacked website. WordPress made up the vast majority of these.<\/p>\n
