About

Cory Miller (that’s me) is a former newspaper journalist and public relations/communications practitioner, turned freelance web designer, turned full-time entrepreneur. In January 2008, I founded iThemes, a provider of premium WordPress themes, and in the summer of 2009, we launched WebDesign.com, a premium provider of web design training with WordPress.

A native of Oklahoma, I make my home in Oklahoma City (Edmond to be exact) with my beautiful bride, Jennifer, and our little Yorkie named Fletch (yes, he’s named after the awesome Chevy Chase movies by that name). I’m also the proud ‘Uncle Coco’ to three beautiful nieces and one handsome nephew that get pretty much anything they ask me for.

We serve in the college ministry at Quail Springs Baptist Church in OKC (where I was on staff before starting my business).

Jenn and I love stupid humor and mockumentaries like The Office, Modern Family, Spies Like Us, and of course Dumb and Dumber (makes me take my life less seriously). Also, I try every summer to spend a week in the New Mexico mountains (my personal favorite retreat).

I use this blog to talk about my adventures in entrepreneurship (the roller coaster ride), things I am continually learning about marketing, new business announcements (yes, I will shamelessly promote my life’s work here!) and anything else I want to share with the world, in particular, my very amateur photos, which are most likely taken with my iPhone.
