Full-time freelance
Since October 2023, I now work 100% freelance for a small list of clients. One of the clients I publicly do work is GeneratePress, which is what I used to rebuild my site most recently along with the GenerateBlocks plugin.
I love doing product work and I love making software that helps people do what they do better. So this is a great intersection of both passions.
Creating WordPress education content
I’ve been working on the overall idea and concept for my WordPress course: Learn WP Theme Dev. Right now I’m going back to the drawing board to further study the landscape and evaluate student needs so I can make the most relevant material I can.
Prep for a Spartan Race
Since last March, I’ve been preparing to run my first Spartan Race here in Jacksonville, FL. My daughter Magnolia (age 5) will be doing the Kids race too. I’m really excited to push myself and do something well beyond what I previously thought.
Expecting a new baby boy
My wife Taylor and I are expecting a new baby boy: Wilder Ian Svoboda around May or June 2025. I’m building a brand new office shed in the backyard so my daughter Magnolia can move into my current office and her room can become the baby’s room. A lot of new changes are happening at home and I’m really excited for what this year brings!
Built-in Cabinets
We’re working on building built-in cabinets, which is a project we’ve been looking to do for years. I’m excited to put it all together and blog about the final result!
