I began building Websites in 1998. Email lists like Chicago WebWomen and Philly WebWomen were where I met my teachers, mentors, employers and friends. From when the question was as simple as \u201cHow do I make my text blink?\u201d I have always valued community input.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After attending WordCamp NYC in \u201909 I was in love with WordPress and its people. Since then WordCamps have not only been a source of education, they have been a place to meet people from all over the world and make connections long valued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In my spare time also co-organize our local WordPress Meetup. If you’re in the area please Join Us<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n@MrsCRW<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tKen Kramer<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t\t\nCo-Lead Organizer \/ Sponsor Wrangler<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
I have been using WordPress since 2012, enjoy meeting other WP Users and learning from them and helping others learn more about WordPress! I am co-organizer of Lehigh Valley Meetup and am regular attendee of Northwest NJ Meetup and Reading WordPress Meetup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have attended many WordCamps (Scranton, Philadelphia, Lancaster and WordCamp US in Philadelphia).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\t\t\t\t\t\r\nBudget<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
I am a business owner of a small web design\/development\/hosting company, with over 30 years of experience operating in the Lehigh Valley. I love to help individual and small to medium size companies bring their dreams into reality with their identity and web presence.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The design and web industry has grown in leaps and bounds in recent years and WordPress has been a driving force for those changes. My initial interest was purely commercial as a survival tactic to stay relevant but I didn\u2019t count on falling in love with the community behind it. I joined the LV WordPress Meetup to participate in the exchange of knowledge and ideas with a group of fantastic individuals learning and creating WordPress sites. I helped with the first two Lehigh Valley WordCamp and attended my very first WordCamp US in Philly. What a fantastic experience!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
I live a very busy life with many personal interests such as cooking, reading and the outdoors, which is where you\u2019ll find me when I am not learning about the web, new technologies, and innovations that fascinate me.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\t\t\t\t\t\r\nWebsite Lead<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
I built my first website in 1998 using just a text editor. I have built and run several hobby websites over the years, but I recently decided to make a career change from architectural drafting to web design. I decided to start learning all things WordPress to be able to create better websites.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Last year, I volunteered for my first WordCamp Lehigh Valley and co-designed the event’s website. My years of drafting experience came in handy for drawing the Bethlehem and Allentown skyline banner from scratch as the finishing touch for it. I am honored to be part of this great group of organizers, and am looking forward to working on this year’s event.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
I enjoy many other things in my spare time including caring for my cats, riding the local rail trails, reading, writing, Game of Thrones, and cheering on the Lehigh Valley Phantoms.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I’m a Software Developer and former technical manager. I’m happy to be a part of the WordPress community in the Lehigh Valley. People are helpful to each other and I enjoy participating in the WordCamp’s and MeetUp’s to keep up with WordPress and web development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ve only done a couple very small WordPress sites but I have done other larger web sites in raw HTML\/ASP.NET etc. I really enjoy front-end development in JavaScript.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I like to see how WordPress systems can be fast-loading and functional while still being very easy for the site owner to maintain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been training people on processes and systems for 25+ years.\u00a0 One of my favorite things is to learn new processes or systems to develop documentation, training programs and courses.\u00a0 I was endearingly called the “SOB” of the “SOPs” ;O .\u00a0<\/p>\r\n
How did I get involved in WordPress you ask?\u00a0 I was assigned our WordPress website about 10 years ago to learn and document.\u00a0 There is so much to learn and I’ve been hooked ever since!\u00a0 I also joined the Lehigh Valley WordPress group about 2 years ago after meeting many wonderful and helpful people at my first meetup.<\/p>\r\n
I’ve taken CSS3 and HTML5 courses to help round out my website knowledge.\u00a0 Nothing beats the feeling you get when you write code for the first time and it works!\u00a0 And I will be taking PHP and JavaScript courses before the end of this year.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n
My philosophy and line in life is “For when you cease learning, you cease living!”\u00a0 Life is a learning process.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t
