Welcome to my tiny corner of the internets.
Here you will find me sharing some notes/ideas on whatever comes to mind. This site is a bit of an experiment in that rather than a traditional blog, which I’ve also attempted to start several years back, this site is structured as a digital garden.
Based out of Rochester, NY, I live with a cat, a dog, a kid, a bird, and a wife (there may or may not also be a bat living in our attic). I work in tech as a Director of Software Engineering. When I’m not at work, I volunteer and serve as a president of the board at Dharma Refuge and I try to spend as much time as possible in a sea kayak. And then with various degrees of (ir)regularity I meditate and do yoga.
Depending on what brought you here, below are some starting points to choose your own adventure.
Leadership
If you found me…
- because we work together (or we worked together in the past or possibly will work in the future)
- through LinkedIn or some other professional function or event
- because one of us was doing that “networking thing” that people do these days
… one of my major passions is leadership - whatever that means and it is something I’m always exploring and looking for others.
Sea Kayak
If you found me…
- somewhere on, in or near a kayak
- through BayCreek or another paddling shop/group
- on Facebook (which I primarily use to explore paddling community)
… a sea kayak is something I fairly recently made a jump to from more casual recreational kayaking. I’m always on the lookout to connect with others who are local and looking to practice or paddle together.
Dharma & Meditation
If you found me…
- through Dharma Refuge where I volunteer in various capacities including serving as a president of the board at the moment
- through one of the other communities like Wonderwell
- in one of meditation retreats that we both attended
… or maybe you just stumbled in and now are curious about meditation.
