  • Yardell Perkins

    Avatar of Yardell Perkins

    Yardell is a former IT hardware and sysadmin geek who got burnt out on the idea of keeping up with all of the little things necessary to perform proper hardware and sysadmin work. He set out to reinvent himself as a software geek and was able to do so largely through WordPress. When he’s not further self-educating himself in proper software work, he exercises, reads or volunteers his time to organizations and causes he believes in and feels that he may be of some benefit to.
