About Austin

Hi, I'm Austin, but you can call me Frosty. I'm an LA native living in Santa Monica. I'm currently "Principle Engineer; Content" for Crain Communications and when I'm not working on WordPress during the day I create premium plugins; which I sell. My most popular products are extensions for Custom Login (a plugin with over 1 Million downloads) and other plugins. I've been working on WordPress since ~2006 and from 2009-2012 I was the organizer of WordCamp LA. I'm a huge Dodgers fan, softball player and golfer.
