Now

This page is updated occasionally to reflect what I’m currently focused on. If it’s more than a few months old, I’m probably overdue for an update. Last updated: October 2025.

This is what I’m focused on right now. Inspired by Derek Sivers’ now page movement.

Taking a break…

After 20+ years of intense focus I’m recharging and exploring what comes next.

My wife has supported me through countless career hurdles, late night production incidents, and all the chaos that comes with building systems at scale. I want to pay back some of that immense debt by being present, exploring new places together, and making up for all the missed dinners and interrupted weekends.

… but also kinda building

I work on projects that scratch my own itches - mostly around mountaineering, climbing data, and automation. Just solving problems I have. No deadlines, no stakeholders.

I play with AI coding assistants, modern dev tools, and new technologies that catch my interest. Learning without production dependencies or business requirements.

… and training

Weightlifting, trail running, and conditioning for mountaineering. Building strength and endurance for the peaks.

… and learning

Working through my backlog of history, science, and sailing books. Mostly non-fiction about how systems work and why people make the choices they do. You can see what I’ve been reading on my reading page.

I also follow Stronger By Science and Barbell Medicine for evidence-based training and nutrition science. Research-backed information about strength training, recovery, and how the body works. No bro-science.
