Stephen Burge grew up in and around Portsmouth in southern England. He comes from a long line of teachers and soon became one himself. Teaching never made him rich, but it did pay the bills during years living abroad in Wales, Mexico, Japan, Australia, and the United States.
During his travels he dabbled with building Web sites and in 2003 discovered Mambo, the predecessor to Joomla.Three years later, his evening job as a web designer was making him more money than this day job as a teacher. So, now living in Atlanta, Georgia, in the United States, he founded Alledia.com, a company dedicated to building open source web sites.
After a few years and few dozen web sites, Stephen started to feel the urge to teach again. A friend asked him to teach a class in Chicago: He tried it and loved it. The reintroduction to teaching lead to more classes in Atlanta, New York,Washington, and other cities.They went well enough that Stephen ended up combing his two careers and became a full-time open source teacher. He now runs OSTraining.com which teaches thousands of people online and live every year. OSTraining clients include Apple, Pfizer and the U.S. Departments of Energy, Education and Commerce.
Steve will be speaking on: “How to Make Great Tutorial WordPress Videos“
