A cabinet of strange things

Curiosities

Not everything fits in a portfolio. Some things are just strange, impressive, accidental, or memorable. This is where they live.

Media Appearance2025

I Was on the News

A local news appearance in 2025. The world was watching and I wasn't entirely prepared for it.

A chance appearance in a local broadcast. The kind of thing that makes you realize the world is watching even when you're not prepared for it.

Media Appearance2026

I Was on the News Again

A second local news appearance in 2026. Apparently this is a pattern now.

Lightning strikes twice. Another local broadcast, another moment preserved in the archive. At this point it might just be a thing that happens.

Achievement2023

Semester at Sea

Completed a full semester of university coursework aboard a ship, crossing oceans and visiting 14 ports across 4 continents.

The Atlantic crossing alone was something. Days at sea with no land in sight in any direction, the horizon becoming everything. Then add Belgium, Iceland, Portugal, Spain, Malta, Greece, Mauritius, South Africa, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, Japan, and China. A floating university with a curriculum that couldn't be replicated anywhere on land.

Milestone2024

Started Building in Public

At some point I stopped keeping ideas private and started shipping them. This website is part of that.

The best way to learn is to build. The second best way is to share what you built. Doing both at once is where things get interesting.

Something else is forming...

The realm is always expanding.

Things that have nothing to do with a resume

Beyond the Screen

None of this will ever show up in a job description. That is exactly why it is here.

Certified

Pokemon Professor, Judge & Organizer

Officially certified to judge and run sanctioned Pokemon TCG events. Rules knowledge, floor calls, and the logistics of keeping a room of players on schedule.

Makes things

3D Modeling & Printing

Model it, slice it, print it, discover the tolerance was wrong, print it again. Somewhere between a hobby and a supply chain.

Plays

Violin & Flute

Years of orchestra, including Chamber Orchestra in high school. Still the fastest way to remember that being bad at something is fine.

Someday

A Supra and the Rest of the World

One day I will own a Supra. One day I will see the parts of the world the ship did not reach. Both are on the list, neither is negotiable.
