A Little Small Talk.

Ben and Jacqueline

I’m Ben. My wife’s name is Jacqueline, and her friends call her Jacq. We both work in tech, remotely from our shared home office.

I’m the Director Of Customer Service and Support for several brands in the WordPress Space over at StellarWP.com, and Jacqueline is the Operations Manager for WPSessions.

We also have a few side hustles – WP Steward, Greenwood DJ, and Jacqueline’s blog on living life with T1 Diabetes, Sweetly Diabetic.

We’re parents of three boys, and you can likely find us chasing one of them to some sporting event these days. This site is where we like to verbally process life. If you dig back far enough here, you’ll find articles written from our time on staff with Campus Crusade for Christ, and various other stages of life.

Thanks for stopping by and checking us out. We’re glad you’re here.
