When heâs not wrangling releases or pushing forward initiatives like AI in WordPress, heâs coaching youth sports, chasing five kids, and pretending to know something about work-life balance. Ask him about contributor strategy, plugin sustainability, or the best playlist for kindergarten baseball. Just donât ask him to rest.
