Entry — Interests

Interests

The things that show up here whether they're relevant to the work or not.

A code editor on screen

Web Development

Building things that work well and look the way they should. This site itself is where I test ideas before they ever reach a client project.

A marketing analytics dashboard

SEO & Digital Marketing

Making sure good work actually gets found. Twenty years in advertising taught me that great work nobody sees doesn't help anyone.

Interlocking gears representing systems

Systems Thinking

I like understanding why something works, not just that it does. Whether it's a website or a bad habit, the fix is usually in the system, not the symptom.

An aerial view of a hedge maze

ADHD & Focus

My brain runs in parallel, not in a line. Most of what I've learned in the last few years is how to build systems that work with that instead of against it.

A vinyl record on a turntable

Pink Floyd

Wish You Were Here and Animals are in constant rotation. Nick Mason's drumming on Dogs is criminally underrated.

An acoustic guitar

The Beatles

Discovered through my uncle, and somehow still mine. Maybe I'm Amazed was our wedding song, so Paul's earned a permanent place on the list.

A nebula and stars in a night sky

Star Trek

Grew up on reruns of the original series. The Next Generation, Voyager, Lower Decks, and Strange New Worlds all get regular rewatches.

A Bell helicopter

M*A*S*H

My favorite show, full stop. I can quote most of eleven seasons, and I'll defend Dreams as one of the best episodes television ever produced.

A blackboard covered in physics equations

Physics

The universe is stranger and more elegant than most people give it credit for. I still read about it purely for fun.

A needlepoint embroidery hoop and thread

Needlepoint

A slow, quiet hobby that has nothing to do with a screen. Good for a brain that otherwise doesn't stop.

A parent and child holding hands

Family & Caregiving

My wife Christine, our son William, and caring for aging parents have reshaped what I think actually matters.
