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!
