About the Author

Aaron Brazell is a Co-Founder at WP Engine, an Austin, Texas-based startup built to meet the technical needs of WordPress bloggers. He is a WordPress core contributor and has been an active member of the WordPress community since 2004 as a developer, user, and consultant.

He is a frequent public speaker, engaging with the WordPress community at WordCamps around the United States, as well as at marketing, social media, and other industry events. He has organized WordCamp Mid-Atlantic, a WordPress community conference catering to the Greater Capital region, which includes Maryland, D.C., Delaware, and Northern Virginia. He believes in challenging conventional thinking and assumptions, and as a result, often takes actions that are provocative, strategic, and unconventional in an effort to move dialogue and popular opinion forward.

In addition to his work with WordPress and social media, Aaron is an avid photographer and sports fan (his favorite teams are the Boston Red Sox and Baltimore Ravens), and has one son, Devin Michael. He currently lives in Austin, Texas.
