I build things that keep factories running — and I’m incurably curious about how everything else works too.

For 22+ years I’ve worked in industrial automation: Rockwell, DeltaV, safety systems, industrial networks.

I’m constantly learning something I didn’t need to know — and excitedly telling someone about it. I take things apart, sometimes to fix them, sometimes just to see how they work.

I follow Jesus, I’m married to a woman way out of my league, and I’m raising kids who will easily out achieve me. I play bass and keys, and a few other things.

I get into super nerdy conversations, and would love to discuss the theological implications of the phrase “Wake up Neo” from the movie The Matrix.

What I work on
—Local-first apps that make life easier
—Writing about interesting things and random thoughts and new music.
—Witty Puns and Dad jokes
