← Back to my storyTHE LITTLE THINGS MAKE A PERSON.

25 things you might
not know about me.

A little work. A little life. A few things that probably explain a lot.

A sunset memory, 2019.

I’m a husband.

And part of a family that has shared some very different chapters.

I’m a dad of three.

Family life is a big part of the life behind my work.

I’ve worked from home for over 10 years.

I’ve learned how to stay productive while being present for life at home.

Our kids were homeschooled.

They’re in school now. For years, home was both a workplace and a place to learn.

I work in Pomodoros.

Focused blocks give my work structure and help me be deliberate about my attention.

High-priority work comes first.

I structure those focus blocks around the tasks that matter most.

I work out five or six times a week.

Staying physically active is part of how I stay sharp at work.

I make healthy eating a priority.

It’s part of the routine that supports my energy and focus.

I pay attention to gut health.

One of the ways I take care of myself outside the workday.

Mental health matters to me.

I make room for reflection and habits that help me stay grounded.

I started personal development at 21.

More than 1,000 books later, I’m still exploring leadership, people skills, sales, marketing, business, and mindset.

I’m always studying and practicing.

I like learning something, putting it to work, and understanding it more deeply.

One of our beach chapters.

We’ve driven across the country three times.

As a family. A lot of miles and a lot of shared memories.

Mushroom coffee is my thing.

A small personal preference you won’t find on a typical work profile.

I’ve lived on Topsail Island.

One of the beach chapters of our family’s story.

I’ve lived on Oak Island.

Another place we’ve called home by the water.

I’ve lived in Myrtle Beach.

Beach life has been a recurring theme.

I’ve lived in Puerto Rico.

A different kind of island chapter.

Three cross-country drives. Plenty of shared miles.

Las Vegas is home now.

We traded a relaxed beach pace for upbeat city life and some unexpected experiences.

I’ve been a movie background actor.

I’ve appeared in scenes with Seth Rogen, Bryan Cranston, Vince Vaughn, and Al Pacino.

I’m a student of life.

Curious, still learning, and excited about where we are.

I’ve been a ClickMagick partner since 2017.

It’s where much of my experience in customer systems and technical support comes together.

I’ve helped thousands of companies.

Across different software, setups, and levels of technical experience.

I build projects of my own.

Tarotmantic and Mildly Offensive Tees are two places I put ideas and AI-assisted work into practice.

Still curious. Still trying things.

My experience came before AI.

I use it across work and life, bringing my own context, direction, and judgment.
