About Shawn

Enjoying one of my favorite pastimes.Recovering Freelancer.

For 26 years, I worked as a freelance graphic designer, creating logos and identity systems, print materials, websites, and marketing strategies that helped my clients connect more effectively with their audience. I learned a lot of difficult lessons… some of them the hard way.

WordPress Educator.

In 2008, I created the original WordPress 101 video tutorial series. Today, it’s one of the most popular WordPress tutorial sites in the world, and has helped three million people all around the world learn how to use WordPress to create their own website or blog. That’s both immensely gratifying and deeply humbling.

Video Producer.

I also create effective and compelling tutorial videos that will help your audience fall in love with your product or service. I’ve created hundreds of custom screencasts and tutorial videos for many notable clients like GoDaddy, Automattic, Namecheap, BigCommerce, Beaver Builder, Yoast, Ninja Forms, and others. Check out 101Videos.com for more details.

Small Business Coach.

With 32 years’ experience as a solopreneur, I enjoy helping small business owners, freelancers, and entrepreneurs connect and communicate more effectively with their audience. Need help creating an online course? Or just some encouragement and quick advice? Let’s schedule a call!

GeekDad³. Cigars & Whiskey. Racing.

I’m an avid fan of F1 and IndyCar motorsports, and raced sports cars at local tracks for many years. When I’m not in front of the computer, you’ll often find me enjoying a nice cigar and whiskey with my amazing wife of 25 years, Kay. But my greatest joy in life is helping our three teenage ‘dynamos’ — Kate, Ethan, and Karis — to discover and nurture their own passions and sense of purpose.

Lately, I’ve been giving this quote some thought…

“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go out and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”

— Howard Thurman
