[Learn about the Meetup](https://pro-how.com/myrtle-beach-wordpress-meetup/) ## Hey, I'm Kevin Young I learned most of what I know by being confused first. In ninth grade I traded my free periods to a school IT staffer who agreed to teach me how computers work, and by graduation I had repaired hundreds of the school's machines. Along the way I found my favorite part of the work: watching someone else's confusion turn into clarity. Since then, I've mostly met people where they get stuck, through RdyToGo, Pro-How AI, and the Myrtle Beach WordPress Meetup. I write things down here, in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, and anyone is welcome to look in.
