Andrew Norcross Interview

Andrew Norcross
Andrew Norcross is speaking on Build Something Today at WordCamp Minneapolis.

What inspired or motivated you to give this talk at WordCamp?

Minneapolis has always been a city I’ve enjoyed visiting, and the people there have always supported the WordCamp events in Florida that I’ve been a part of. In addition, seeing the theme of this camp in particular caught my attention as it’s something new, and I wanted to be a part of it.

How do you “create intention” in your job, career, or life?

By focusing on the things I truly care about, and letting the rest take a backseat. So many things fight for your time and attention, and without being a real gatekeeper to your own time you simply cannot dedicate yourself to anything.

If you were a WordPress Plugin, what Plugin would you be and why?

Probably WordPress FAQ Manager, because I seem to have an endless amount of useless facts stored in my head.

If you were not doing your current job, what profession would you be in and why?

LEGO Master Builder. Even if I wasn’t getting paid, I’d probably figure out a way to do that.

What professional and/or research resource(s) can’t you live without?

My network of friends. There’s simply so much information out there you can’t keep up if you tried, but having a close group of people you know and trust allows you to filter through it and find the things that are relevant.
