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.

I grew up in Ohio, where the seasons still mean something and the rivers and woods quietly shape the way a person thinks about life. For many years I lived out West in Arizona, where the open desert and big skies leave a different kind of mark on you. Eventually I made my way back to the heartland. These days the wooded nature of the Midwest, the rivers, the lakes, and the slower rhythm of things provide the backdrop for much of my writing and thinking.

My writing inspiraton has been shaped by the Beat writers of old, whose spirit of independence, curiosity, and refusal to follow the usual script still feels necessary in a world that often pushes people toward conformity. Before focusing on writing and creative projects, I spent many years in the technology industry, an experience that gave me a front-row seat to the promises and contradictions of the digital age.

I still enjoy traveling whenever I can, whether that means long stretches of Route 66 across the American landscape or wandering through the layered streets and history of Old Europe. Travel, culture, and the constant search for authenticity tend to find their way into everything I write.

This site is where I share many of those thoughts, ideas, and observations, so take some time to explore and enjoy the blog while you are here. If you would like to see my latest books and releases, you can visit my Amazon Author Page, and if you are interested in even more writing, and essays, be sure to check out my archives on my Substack page as well.

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.
