About
I build things and try to pay attention while I’m doing it. My background is in tech and entrepreneurship, including time running a digital marketing agency and a legal services firm. These days, my focus is on writing, creative problem-solving, and staying connected to the arts, travel, and community work. I value clear thinking, time in nature, and conversations that feel real. I’m less interested in titles than I am in usefulness.
Conversations & Interviews
I occasionally join conversations around writing, music, philosophy, and the work of staying human in a noisy world. This includes print interviews, podcasts, and long-form discussions.
I’m not interested in hype or performance—just honest dialogue and useful exchange. If you think there’s alignment, feel free to reach out.
Philosophy
I’m not here to sell transcendence, upgrades, or a better-performing version of the self. I’m here for clarity, and clarity only shows up after you stop lying to yourself, or you’re just too innocently naive enough to know. I use language as a working tool, not a sedative—something to pry things open, scrape away what’s false, and see what’s actually there.
I don’t write from a mountaintop. I write from the shop floor, in the middle of fatigue, doubt, belief, ambition, and the quiet failures nobody advertises. Those aren’t defects to be corrected; they’re the raw materials to build from.
I offer perspective, not guidance. I offer mirrors, not self-help. The work on yourself starts with letting go and moving on. Everyone has a right to their own dignity. By first removing what’s unnecessary, inherited, or no longer true, forward movement becomes possible. It isn’t escape. It’s subtraction – it’s elimination. And then you begin to put ideas under pressure and test them against all aspects of life: work, money, addiction, time, faith, and the daily mechanics of staying upright.
My process is direct and unsentimental: say it plainly, test it in real life, discard what doesn’t hold true to yourself. I stay at the workbench naming what’s broken, what endures, and what must be carried anyway. I don’t promise clean endings or easy fixes. I’m aiming for earned agency—a steady stance, chosen consciously, and a backbone strong enough to stand in a culture that keeps trying to bend you sideways.
