§ 01 / First Things First
Father and husband.
Everything else follows.

Most of what I've done professionally comes back to teaching in some form. Sixteen years running my own massage practice. Three years training instructors at a massage school. Over a decade before that as an automation rep running field training around the country.

The common thread: taking something complicated — a body, a software rollout, a policy change, a franchise's fifty-year history — and finding the version of it a real person can actually use.

Now I design learning systems and organizational development programs for the State of Colorado.

Outside of work, I write and I build. IN-COM-PLETE is my ongoing obsession: a research-heavy archive of Denver Broncos history written from the south stands.

Gutter Road is a post-collapse worldbuilding project set in the Rockies. 6th.world is something else — a transmission that comes and goes. Some people find the pieces.

Mile High Tie Dye is the most physical of them all — ice-dyed shirts in the colorways of a city, made one at a time in a garage at 5,280 feet.

I also make AI music. Not for release, not for streaming — just for me. An audience of one is still an audience.

In the early 2000s I ran higherlistening.com, a Denver music site that picked up a Best of Westword. The obsession predates the infrastructure.
