Jim Luke

Jim Luke isn’t a developer, but he is a WordPress addict. He’s been teaching economics at Lansing Community College for the last 13 years, including a lot of online teaching. His enthusiasm for innovation in college teaching and WordPress has led him to found a non-profit organization, Malartu Inc, to help all college faculty create their own WordPress sites and gain their online voice.

Before getting into teaching, he spent 25 years in corporate strategic planning consulting with a specialty in emerging technologies.

About Brian Richards

I am the creator of [WPSessions.com](http://wpsessions.com/) and began using WordPress in 2007. In 2011 I started leading and training development teams and really started to come alive. Through WPSessions, I've had the privilege of organizing dozens of WordPress events, producing more than 400 presentations and hosting speakers from all over the globe. Since discovering WordPress, I’ve had the opportunity to work with many amazing WordPress agencies and experts. These relationships have allowed me to help develop sites for Cornell University, Microsoft, Disney, TIME, YMCA, and numerous others. My real passion is for self-directed learning and helping others develop skills and workflows to better solve important and complicated problems. I can’t resist helping good people do great things!
