Anthony is the lead organizer for WordCamp Detroit for the second year in a row. A big fan of WordPress since 2006, he uses it for content management and its API to data interface.

The WordPress\u00a0newbie of the group, TJ started using it 2 years ago. Now a WordCamp junkie, he has attended 5 WordCamps to date (he spoke at three of them).\u00a0TJ helped organize WordCamp Detroit 2010 and runs the Metro Detroit WordPress Meetup group. He doesn’t know how to build a site without WordPress.com Custom CSS<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"Billy Strawter Jr.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“How long have I been using WordPress? That’s like asking how long I have been married.” \u00a0Billy uses WordPress for personal blogs, for business websites, and the\u00a0occasional\u00a0client.
