Chris is a WordPress developer born and raised in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Currently living in Halifax and working in Bedford, he has been developing professionally with WordPress for the past four years.

 <\/p>\n

What\u2019s been your best experience with WordPress?<\/h3>\n

So far it’s been getting a maintainable stack up and running at my company. It’s very rewarding to see lots of hard work come together to make everyone’s lives a little easier.<\/p>\n


\nTell us a bit about your WordCamp Halifax talk<\/h3>\n

What\u2019s your favourite thing about WordCamps, or if your first one… what are you looking forward to?<\/h3>\n

I’m looking forward to getting a chance to talk with all the other speakers about their experience with WordPress.<\/p>\n
