About

I’ve spent a few decades making things for screens—sometimes for airlines, sometimes for startups, and sometimes because an idea wouldn’t leave me alone.

The trail wound through a few states, an island, a startup that vanished, a studio that stuck, a family, some surfboards, and an unreasonable number of browser tabs.

Eventually, it bent back toward the mountains. That’s probably enough biography for the internet.
