Hi friend.
I'm a Creative Entrepreneur and Software Engineer, practitioner of A Hero's Journey, a personal/tech/investing newsletter, and builder of several projects including KolorKit, The Iowa Mockus, and Odaat. I'm trying to live my best life and share it with the world. Let's get to know each other, shall we?
I love building software.
In fact, I recently joined a seed-stage tech startup (as employee #2) in the cloud security space, because I wanted to be a part of building something from the ground up, developing a team culture, and finding product-market fit. This company is still in stealth-mode for now, but when we go fully public, you'll be first to know if you're a subscriber.
Speaking of, If my life sounds interesting to you, you can sign up for my free newsletter where I put out updates on my journey in addition to thoughts on passion subjects like crypto, investing, tech, and health and wellness.
Have you ever wondered what your dream career looks like? I mean like really thought about it, got into the details?

It's still a work-in-progress, but I have a name for this career: Professional Tinkerer.
Get inspired by my journey to become a Professional Tinkerer by joining the free newsletter today.
On a personal note, I've recently been "bit by the travel bug" as the saying goes.
I'm going to be travelling and working remotely for 2-3 months out of the year in 2023. And later this year, I'll be moving from my hometown of Phoenix, AZ (where I've spent my entire life so far) to New York City.
Stay up to date with my travels by following me on Instragram.
Deep wealth and income inequality is a destructive force on many of the people of the world’s economy. But, for all the issues that inequality brings, there are some benefits too that are rarely discussed (or at least rarely framed well).
The technology behind crypto is fascinating and incredibly strong, and it will definitely end up overhauling many industries, but right now there’s few real consumer outlets for the crypto economy — in essence, you can put money in and invest it, but you can’t spend it on much.
Back in December, I wrote a story about a blockchain called Terra and why I thought it was the most promising blockchain around. In that story, I included a section on how Terra could fall apart in a theoretical black swan market event, and it seems my worst fears have come true.
I offer consulting for the following subject areas:
