This site is a place for writing (and venting).
Not announcements. Not hot takes. Not productivity hacks. Just writing.
For most of my adult life, I’ve written in the margins. Notes during long meetings. Drafts that never left my laptop. Half-finished thoughts about work, family, ambition, fear, and the strange distance between the life we plan and the one we actually live.
From time to time, I shared some of that writing publicly. When I did, the response was at times almost overwhelming but usually it was quiet but meaningful. A message from someone who recognized themselves in a sentence. A conversation that picked up where the essay left off. Those moments mattered more than metrics.
So this site exists to make more room for that.
You’ll find essays here about work, not the glossy LinkedIn version, but the human one. The confusion. The compromises. The pride and the regret that often sit side by side. You’ll find reflections on family, especially fatherhood, which has a way of clarifying what matters while simultaneously complicating everything else. You’ll find writing about creativity, transition, and the slow work of becoming more honest with yourself.
There’s no fixed schedule. No content calendar. I’ll publish when I have something worth saying and the courage to say it plainly.
Some posts will be short. Some will be long. Some may contradict things I wrote earlier. That’s not a bug. That’s the point.
If you’re here because you followed a link, stumbled in by accident, or came looking for something specific and found this instead, you’re welcome to stay as long as it’s useful. Read what resonates. Ignore what doesn’t. Come back later, or don’t.
This site is simply a place to think out loud, carefully, and in public.
Thanks for being here at the (new) beginning.
