Hometown: Virginia Beach, VA<\/em><\/p>\n

Position: Development Lead<\/em><\/p>\n

Been with InMotion Hosting since: August 2007<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>How have you enjoyed working in the web hosting industry since starting at InMotion Hosting?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Before working at InMotion Hosting, I actually worked for about a year at another hosting company. Their infrastructure had quite a few problems, and so I got first hand experience on how not to run a web hosting company. When I came to InMotion Hosting, I was immediately surprised at how well everything was setup, and how smoothly operations ran. I’ve really enjoyed seeing first hand how putting the customer first helps a company profit and grow.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is your current role at InMotion Hosting? What do you like most about it?<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

My current role with InMotion Hosting is Development Lead for the Product Development department. What I like most is the opportunity to work on all aspects of a product, not just development. Besides simply writing code, I get the opportunity to work on marketing and support. There’s a lot of potential in making our products very successful, and taking part in all aspects really helps to see the big picture and plan ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What position did you start in with IMH? Tell us about your career growth since then.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I started at IMH in 2007 as a Tier1 in support. I moved on to Tier2 support, which gave me the opportunity to learn more about keeping servers running well, setting up and configuring VPS’s, and more. After that, I helped start the Training Department. I eventually moved on the helping start the Customer Community department, which focuses on writing great support tutorials for the website. Then, a little over 5 years ago, I was asked to help start the Product Development department, where our focus was on creating solutions to help WordPress users build and maintain WordPress websites.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Coolest gadget you own, want to own or have read about?<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I’d like to get my hands on a nice oculus rift. I’m very interesting in VR and the possibilities that are there.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What would you like to tell us about yourself?<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I feel very lucky to have joined InMotion Hosting. I was at the right time at the right place. It’s been rewarding to watch a small company grow to as big as it is today, and it’s been really fun learning and helping out with that growth wherever I can.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How have you used our Professional Development Program?<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I attended a 2 day Agile \/ Scrum training session. It taught us a lot about how things should be done, “by the book”. We don’t run 100% agile, but we’ve been able to take pieces of what we’ve learned and apply it to our methods.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

See what it\u2019s like\u00a0working at InMotion<\/a>\u00a0and all the\u00a0great perks<\/a>\u00a0that come with it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
