Born in Lima, Peru and a proud East Coaster, Alonso taught English as a Second Language and spent time in the non-profit world before becoming a WordPress evangelist. Le gusta hablar en castellano y também em português. Although he misses the rain and clouds every once in a while, New Mexico, where he started a WordPress business, is his home for good. He lives with his wife, Kathleen, his energetic daughter, Josephine, toddler twin boys, Francisco and Iñigo, a neurotic dog, Rafa, and the various rabbits, quail, road runners and spiders that roam his backyard.
