Steven Slack moved to Rio de Janeiro in 2007 to work with the non-profit Mundo Real. He quickly became their communications and technology person, building their website, social media, and newsletters. Steven was living in Rio de Janeiro’s largest urban slum, Rocinha, and that is where he learned how to create websites following tutorials, online training, and of course debugging all while living in one of his favorite neighborhoods in the world, Laboriaux.

Steve was introduced to WordPress in 2008 as he was handed a project that contained an install of WordPress version 2.2 which he then updated to version 2.6. Since then he have been working in WordPress developing themes and plugins for clients.

When Steven is not in front of the computer he enjoys riding his bicycle, exploring Western North Carolina’s beautiful wilderness, traveling, and the company of his wonderful friends and community.
