Our Q&A with Brad Griffin

Brad will be joining us as a speaker for WordCamp DFW with his talk entitled “What Can Woo Do For Y-O-U” on our Community track.

Why do you use WordPress?

The feeling I get knowing that a struggling single mom, a business family, an entrepreneur, and multi-million dollar company creates revenue and dramatically shifts the economic trend to greater financial prosperity is absolutely irreplaceable.

When and how did you get started using WordPress?

About 7 years ago, a Toy Store owner needed to liquidate her inventory. After a few WordPress sites under my belt, we used WooCommerce and that is when I saw the real potential of WordPress.

How do you stay informed about WordPress news, tips, etc.?

What do you like most about WordCamps? (and which have you attended?)

San Antonio | Austin | DFW
The most enjoyable part about WordCamps is the people! Learning code is nice, but understanding both who and how it affects and empowers PEOPLE …that’s the BEST PART!!

Brad will be speaking at WordCamp DFW 2016. His talk is entitled “What Can Woo Do For You?” Until then, find Brad online at bradgriffin.me or tweet him @bradkgriffin!
