How To Explore My Website
This is my digital home & personal website. I work in marketing, live in Atlanta, have done quite a few things in my short career, have an incredible family, and run this website instead of a social media presence. Read about me here.
This website is not about any specific topic at all. It’s not positioning me to be an “authority” or expert in anything. I just like documenting experiences, and I’d rather do it here than elsewhere. Most everything is set to private, but there’s still a good bit that’s public, usually anything that I thought might be mildly useful or just a writing project that I wanted to be public.

What To Read
Public posts are generally about underrated & unique things, experiences, links, etc that I’ve learned about. But seriously, it’s mostly just random. Some posts are even just test posts for other projects.
I’ve had this site for 20+ years, and I don’t really delete stuff, so my thoughts, opinions, habits, etc may have changed. Please don’t read too much into anything. I wrote everything on the site, but it’s all from a specific place & time.
Photos of stuff I take while out and about – like Instagram used to be.
Events and recounting, well, events I’ve attended.
Outdoors and all things hiking, camping, canoeing & running.
Travel and recounting places I’ve been for work, leisure or adventure.
Asides are basically tweets / microblogs…but on here instead there.
Guides to doing stuff like hanging IKEA furniture & biking in Atlanta.
Observations are public posts about lessons, finds, and miscellany.
Work is a more recent category where I’m writing about working on the Internet.
Books Reviews that usually have a summary along with what I liked and what I learned.
Product Reviews where I write about items and companies and things I’ve used where I wish my past self could have known a few things.
*disclosure – some links in the reviews have a tracking code that kicks back a referral fee to me at no cost to you if you end up purchasing the book / service / etc. If you use the links, sweet – thank you! This site costs a little bit of money to run so that offsets that expense. But also feel free to go direct. I think every revenue model on the Internet has tradeoffs – and this is what I like best (vs. ads, subscriptions, etc).
