My name is Ben Cool and I work for A2 Hosting as the Application Optimizer / WordPress Evangelist. I have three kids and live across the lake in Ann Arbor, MI, USA. I have given presentations on System Administration topics at WCCBUS and WCA2. I am a co-organizer for WordCamp Ann Arbor in charge of volunteers and contributor day. I am a member of the WordPress.tv team (no badges). As a developer for a Hosting company, I am responsible for developing internal tools and websites as well as performance optimization tools for customers such as A2 Optimized (https://wordpress.org/plugins/a2-optimized-wp). Attending the WordPress community summit was a highlight for me last year.
