Ben Meredith
What makes a guy with a bachelors degree in Religious Studies and no formal web training into a web developer with hundreds of thousands of downloads of his projects, and then has the audacity to get him a career in technical support and management?
WordPress does.
Ben is a developer and technical support lead, focused on the human interaction with WordPress. He thrives on making users (and their sites) play nicely with developers (and their products), like an ambassador from one to the other.
A graduate of the University of North Carolina and a lifelong Southerner, Ben lives in South Carolina and is a father of two + a foster preschooler and a husband of one very patient wife. He works full-time As the Head of Support for Impress.org, the makers of GiveWP, where he spends his time wowwing customers, cracking jokes, and solving problems.
When he’s not working, he’s likely parenting and reminiscing about having free time to play disc golf and guitar.
Fun facts: Once he gave a Bible to a drunken former KGB agent who was nearly naked. He flew east all the way around the world (with the help of commercial airlines) one summer. He used to have significantly more hair. To an embarrassing extent.
