⇒ Best Practices for WordPress Site Ownership and Management<\/a><\/strong>
\nI’m Ryan Sullivan, and I’m a big fan of WordPress. I’m lucky enough to be the guy who started WP Site Care. My background in the corporate world as a sysadmin for electronic health records was an ideal launching pad that has let me live my dream of being an entrepreneur, while keeping people’s websites safe, secure, and easy to use. I caught the open source bug in 2009, and I haven’t looked back since. My affinity for bacon is surpassed only by my affinity for my three awesome sons and my amazing wife. Utah is the beautiful state that I get to call home.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t
