Core Values

These are the values that I strive to live by and embody along my journey though life. They shape the decisions I make and serve as a compass by which I navigate both personal and professional terrains. I expect them to inevitably change over time, along with who I am, and as such commit to periodically reassessing this content and will post updates as I see appropriate. These are in not ordered in any particular way.

  • Constant and never-ending improvement
  • Kindness & honesty
  • Leaving things better than I found them
  • Having a bias towards action
  • Fitness (physical, emotional, financial)
  • Generosity & philanthropy
  • Communication
  • Being useful to others
  • Creating deep connections

Mission

I used to think “having a mission in life” meant a lifelong sole focus. It makes more sense to have multiple missions at once, and that they should transform over time.

My professional mission as represented by this website, blog, and brand is to leverage technology to maximize the potential of others in their businesses and lives. I make an impact by helping people and companies achieve their goals. This aligns with my deeper purpose of serving others.

A mission of service grounds me. It provides direction as a constant and unchanging point of reference amidst the uncertainties and changes that life and work will bring.

What I am Working On

What technologies am I using lately?

Currently, my work involves the following technologies: TypeScript, ReactJS, Redux with RTK, Playwright (for testing), WordPress (for almost 20 years!), Google Ads, SEO, and content marketing.

The IDE (code editors) I currently prefer to use are: WebStorm by JetBrains, VSCode, Sublime Text, and Nano.

What I am Interested In

Obviously, programming and marketing are huge for me. And, like the rest of the world, my mind has been on AI. Other topics that have grabbed ahold of me lately are: accessibility, fitness technology, knee injury recovery, LLMs, writing, content production, blockchain, cryptography, smart contracts, futurology, social philosophy.
