How Do I Make Money?

Work

I help organizations make complex things work better. That usually means diving into the deep end of complicated projects, untangling inefficient processes, making technology more useful, and helping people navigate change. I’m particularly fond of solving problems that start with “Well, that’s how we’ve always done it.” I genuinely love what I do, even when it involves creating order out of complete chaos.

Despite all that, I remain a man with simple dreams: a project delivered on time and on budget, a business process that actually makes sense, a website that doesn’t break after an update, and one meeting, just one, that couldn’t have been an email.

Things I Like

Interests

These are a few of my favorite things:

Spending time with family, hanging out with friends, game nights that go well past everyone’s bedtime, live music, slappin’ da bass, stand-up comedy, movies (all the movies), Big Mario’s pizza, backpacking in the mountains and re-thinking my life choices halfway a third of the way up, noodling on my Telecaster, international travel, road trips with no particular destination, a ribeye grilled to medium, the history of technology, paddleboarding and occasionally remaining upright, making a joyful racket on my DW drum kit, observing wildlife from a reasonable distance, and lifelong learning.

And my five absolute favorite things in birth order are: Alaine, Evan, Bryce, Taylor, and Matilda.

About

I was born at a very early age, with no money, no credentials, and absolutely no idea what I was doing. In my defense, I was a baby.

Armed with better-than-average parents, approximately 10% more good luck than bad, sheer determination, and just enough moxie to be dangerous, I eventually grew into a reasonably functional adult who generally knows what he’s doing. Generally.

Friends describe me as dependable, occasionally loud, and funny enough to make the loudness tolerable. Once I’ve found my people, I’m remarkably difficult to get rid of. Most have stopped trying.

My ambitions are modest: enjoy life, make people laugh, leave things a little better than I found them, and someday remember why I walked into the kitchen.

I am currently accepting compliments, consulting engagements, and reasonably priced lunch invitations.
