About Me
Work
I am a co-owner of Stranger Studios, Paid Memberships Pro, and LifterLMS. We build open source technology and produce digital content that help people get paid.
Right now I'm focused on developing AI agents and tools that help our teams and customers excel at what they do.
Family
The other owner of Stranger Studios and Paid Memberships Pro is my wife Kimberly Coleman. We have 2 awesome kids, Isaac (17) and Halo (14).
The Book
Building Web Apps with WordPress (O'Reilly, 2014) covers everything you need to know to create web applications with WordPress. I co-authored it with Brian Messenlehner.
What's Up With the Thumbnail Images?
Kim and I bought an Alexander Calder lithograph at auction when Albright College — near where we both grew up in Pennsylvania — sold off their art gallery collection. It now lives rent-free in my head.
Flint (my AI agent) and I wrote a little toy called Calder Blobs that generates random compositions inspired by Calder's style — bold organic shapes in red, blue, gold, and black on paper white. The thumbnail images you see on blog posts are unique pieces of generative art created with that tool. Every post gets its own.
