Born in Michigan, and currently living in Southern California, I’m a grateful husband (definitely married up), proud father to 3 children that keep me laughing and smiling all day, and a man of faith.

I’m often accused of being a “Jack of all trades, and master of … none.” I’m fine with that. Being a master leaves little room for learning new things.

I started this website as a central place to share notes and photos, with a goal of weaning off social media, and planting seeds here instead.

This space has evolved to include a greater emphasis on celebrating the joys, craftsmanship and mindful living that comes with embracing timeless analog tools and traditions.

You’ll likely notice a few themes across the “notes” pages, including an appreciation of many-things analog, along with a mix of family fodder, and musings on various things of personal interest (I smile when those things interest you as well).

The “photos” portion includes moments I want to remember, print on paper, and sometimes hang on walls.
