💼
Senior TPM at ServiceNow
Supporting the CTO's office with executive briefings, strategic customer engagements, and partnership coordination. The work that happens before the meeting that makes the meeting work.
🏥
Ongoing Medical Treatment
Navigating an ongoing treatment that's occupying a significant chunk of my life and bandwidth right now. It's serious, it's demanding, and it's teaching me things about patience and perspective that no book could. Some chapters aren't ones you choose.
🌐
Building this website
You're looking at it. A personal site that feels like a movie, not a resume. Cinematic AI-generated hero art, the whole works. Storymaxxing in code.
🗺️
The 50-State Project
Visiting 31 new states this year. Oklahoma City confirmed for February. Strategic routing around weather patterns, walkable cities, and hotel loyalty programs. 18 down, 32 to go.
🤖
Hermes Agent & Clawdbot
Playing around with the Hermes Agent from Nous Research and Clawdbot. Building things at the intersection of agents and personal tooling. The frontier is moving fast and I want to be in the cockpit, not the cabin.
🏓
Table Tennis
Playing whenever I get a chance. There's something about the pace of it. Fast enough to shut your brain off, slow enough to be strategic. The perfect reset.

📖
Rendezvous with Rama — Arthur C. Clarke
Coming back to Clarke's masterpiece. The sense of scale, the mystery of the unknown, the humility of encountering something so far beyond human comprehension. It hits different the second time. You notice what you projected onto the silence.
🧠
Psycho-Cybernetics — Maxwell Maltz
The original self-image psychology book. The idea that you can't outperform the image you hold of yourself, and that changing the image changes everything. Connects directly to what I write about on the blog.
📝
The Observation Deck
My own essays on human psychology and what drives our actions. Writing is thinking. This is where I think out loud. Read it →

📺
11.22.63
Stephen King meets JFK assassination meets time travel. James Franco trying to prevent history's worst day. The premise is wild but the execution is weirdly grounded — it's really a love story wearing a thriller's coat.
🎬
Sorry Baby
The kind of movie that sits with you for days after. Uncomfortable in the right ways. Says things most films are too polite to say.
🏈
Bengals Offseason
WHO DEY. Watching every combine clip, mock draft, and free agency rumor. The anxiety never truly goes away. It just changes form between seasons.
Recently Watched
📺
Industry — Season 4
High finance, moral compromise, and people destroying themselves for status. The writing is sharp enough to cut.
✈️
Hijack — Season 2
Idris Elba on a plane. Real-time tension. The kind of show where you forget to breathe for entire episodes.

🎷
Jazz bar hunting in Chicago
Always looking for the next dimly lit room with a trio playing standards. If you know a spot, email me.
Thinking About
Why we do what we do. Not the surface-level answers, the real machinery underneath. The self-image that runs the show while we think we're in control. The patterns we repeat and call them choices. This is what drives the blog.
The gap between who people perform as and who they are at 2am when nobody's watching. That gap is where all the interesting writing lives.
How the best personal brands aren't built. They're collected. Every story, every detour, every city that leaves a mark. The resume is a lie. The stories are the truth.

I figured out how to never pay for a flight or hotel again. 12+ credit cards, all working together. I broke the game. Happy to help you do the same.
