Journey so far

“Lovely weather so far. I don't know how long it will last, but I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning how to sail my ship.”

    First website

    A WordPress build for a legacy cannabis brand. The business didn't last, but I'm still close with the people I met there.

    Helping older people and small business owners keep up with their own technology.

    First success story

    A woman opening her own early intervention practice. I built her tracking spreadsheets, her online presence and her tool kit.

    Baikal Studios

    My first paid commercial, for Mr SOS Mobile Wash, turned into a studio for websites, ads and automation.

Off the clock

Music

Live music, on a budget.

I've been to 30+ concerts in the past two years and paid about $20 a ticket on average. The trick: I stand outside the venue and negotiate with people who have extra tickets as they walk in. Big fan of The Strokes.

Poker

Big poker fan.

So I built a table. Play heads-up Hold'em against my bot, play chips only.
