Adam Ware

I’m a self-declared “seasoned web veteran” with a rich web analytics background and extensive digital marketing experience and skills. Well-rounded in most areas of digital marketing and advertising with solid understanding of usability, web design, and underlying programming and CMS technologies. I’m now the CEO at SwellPath, an analytics consulting and digital marketing agency based in Portland. I’m a WordPress fanatic, and have been a hardcore user since 2006. I’ve got extensive experience with a wide-array of analytics applications, and have hacked and plugged-in most of them into WordPress. A developer in the early years of my career, I now code just enough to distract myself for hours with analytics and WordPress.
