Part-time philosopher, full-time wanderer. I was born on Vancouver Island, where the trees are taller than most politicians’ promises and the ocean never stops reminding you you’re small. My research labs are mountaintops and local breweries, and my experiments often end in great stories—or better questions. I tinker with technology, poke at the edges of AI, and occasionally wrestle e-commerce into something humans actually enjoy. I collect cultures the way some folks collect stamps—except mine come with real people, unfamiliar foods, and the occasional questionable bus ride. I believe curiosity is a compass, bold ideas are the only currency worth trading, and if you’re not getting a little lost now and then, you’re probably mistaking motion for direction.

The Empty State Building

In 1930, with the economy face down in the dirt, ironworkers stacked the tallest thing on Earth in 410 days. Then it opened and almost nobody came. What that empty tower knows about the decade in front of us, and about the four percent of adults quietly training for it.
