About

Father. Husband. Thinker. Program manager by day. Everything else by night.

I spent twenty years settling. These projects are what happened when I stopped. Some are built from old songs. Some are worlds I've been carrying around since I was a kid. All of them are me examining the past and imagining a different future — armed with better tools and fewer excuses.

Every project on this page started as a conversation. Most of them started after midnight.
