About Me

I keep a journal with me at all times. A cheap little notebook, sticky notes, heavy stock notecards, or Google Keep are always at hand. Any idea is written down, no matter how outlandish. Ideas are important but won’t serve as interrupting distractions.

I spent time as a minimalist and digital nomad, donated almost all of my possessions to charity, meditated daily, passed on reading the news, and took a break from social media before returning to electricity and indoor plumbing.

I was a chef for eight years and made cereal wrong. I put milk in first.
