Meet Ben Rojas, President of All in One SEO
Before becoming the President of All in One SEO, Ben got his start in IT and customer support. But long before that, he began his journey as a developer. In fact, he wrote his first lines of HTML code at the age of 13 after learning from library books.

When chatting with James Agar from the WPBeginner team, he fondly remembered his family limiting his computer time (kids need to go outside and play) and working around this obstacle by writing code by hand on lined paper. He’s even kept records of these early efforts!

Since then, Ben has maintained an identity as a lifelong learner, which has helped him become a leader in the WordPress community today. Next, let’s talk about how he discovered WordPress.

A WordPress Journey: From Support to Web Development to President of All in One SEO
After laying the foundations for a future in web development at an early age, Ben got a job in qatar telemarketing data IT at a nonprofit organization in 2008. This was when he started tinkering with WordPress for the first time.

Soon after, he transitioned to a customer support role for a WordPress eCommerce product, which was called Cart66 (now part of WP EasyCart). His plan was to get more familiar with WordPress code.

Ben quickly started to work on his development skills and eventually became a developer on the Cart66 team. During this time, he also started his own side business of writing PayPal plugins for Easy Digital Downloads (EDD), which is now an Awesome Motive product.

Then, after a brief career shift and a departure from WordPress development, Ben returned to his roots. He reconnected with the EDD community and joined the Awesome Motive team in 2016.
