Why I Write
I write about living a fulfilling life — not as an idea, but as something I had to rebuild for myself.
After years of building and investing into businesses and chasing the usual forms of success, I had to ask better questions about what actually makes a life feel worth living.
This site is the result of that shift.

A Life Shaped by Experience, Not Theory
I started my first business in elementary school selling scented erasers. I’ve been online since 1987, built my first website in 1995, and later left corporate life to run my own software company and eventually a web agency.
I graduated with honors from Northern Arizona University with a degree in Business and a minor in Photography.
Burnout and seizures eventually forced me to rethink what success really meant. Today, I write from experience — not theory.
What I Write and Create
My work focuses on how to live a fulfilling life in a noisy, distracted world.
I write essays and courses about living intentionally, meaningful work, creativity, simplicity, attention, and choosing what matters instead of chasing more.
I’m also a private investor, which has shaped how I think about patience, long-term value, and thoughtful decisions.
Beyond that, I create art and write poetry as a way of staying connected to what matters beyond productivity.

My Daily Newsletter
My daily newsletter is where I share short reflections on living intentionally, staying grounded, and finding clarity in ordinary life.
The Dolphin Entrepreneur
Over time, I developed a philosophy I call The Dolphin Entrepreneur — a way of building something meaningful without burning yourself out or losing sight of what matters.
Life Outside the Screen
When I’m not writing, I enjoy:
- Spending time with my wife
- Reading
- Creating art
- Playing the Native American flute
- Living slowly and intentionally
I believe a good life is built quietly, through small, consistent choices.
