Engineer, builder, optimist, and all-around curious guy
A running field notebook of the projects I'm building, the areas I'm tending to, and the subjects I keep returning to. Welcome in — glad you are here.
What I'm tending to this week
I was recently appointed to the Millis Finance Committee. I'm excited to serve. I've begun demolition on the upstairs hallway for the renovation. Major progress is coming soon on my journal project.
Things I'm building right now
Campaign for Selectman
I've decided to run for public office. It's a big commitment, but I want to give back to my community.
Custom Writing Journal
After trying to find the perfect journal, and failing, I decided to create my own. It’s a nice departure from my more engineering-focused work.
Primary Suite Renovation
It's time to upgrade the family manse. I want our house to be a better reflection of us. I've got big ideas, a small budget, and little time. What could go wrong?
The long throughlines
On the desk right now
Blender
Blender is a software suite for 3D creation. It's the sort of tool that you would use to create computer-generated movies, visual effects, assets for 3D games, architectural visualizations, and a whole lot more. It's been on my radar for a long time.
Elixir Programming Language
Every decade, or so, I find my primary programming language changing. It's happening again and it looks like Elixir is what's next. It's a compelling language that has a lot of synergy with my interests and the work I'd like to do.
Modern Greek
My wife is Greek and I've fallen in love with the country. We spend a lot of time there and I'd like to speak the language. Plus, I'm making good on an old promise.
