I am a content management nerd and I try to help people do it better. I am the Director of Content Strategy at Bixal. I wrote the book Designing Content Author Experiences. I really enjoy competitive pinball and punk rock and Survivor. I live in Poulsbo, WA with my wife Nicole and our lovely furry friends Guinnevere, Faron, and Baby Blue.

Most content management systems fill authors with dread starting at the login screen. That’s because the needs of authors are rarely taken into consideration in CMS projects.
