Hi, I'm Paul Hickey!

I'm a Digital Creator.
I spend about 50% of my work time building WordPress websites for small businesses.
I spend about 50% of my work time running a Sports Card Investment and Content Creation business at NoOffseason.com.
In each of my entrepreneurial endeavors, I believe it's important to create a community. I strive to do this by creating helpful content for my audience (community members) to learn about the topics I'm interested in.

- WordPress Web Design and Development (including WooCommerce)
- Sports Cards Collecting, Investing and Sports Card Strategy
