The world is changing quickly, and we have access to more knowledge and more powerful tools than ever before. That's an incredible opportunity—but only if we choose to use it.
Learn something new. Explore unfamiliar territory. Build things. Ask questions. Figure out how things work. Arm yourself with a sharp mind, useful skills, and the willingness to adapt.
There's no single path forward. Choose yours.
Software. Tech. AI. Systems.
I've spent my career building technology things — software, operational systems, ecommerce businesses, and increasingly, AI-powered agents and tools. I've been hacking on computers since long before it became a career, and I'm still fascinated by what's possible.
Outdoors. Travel. Adventure.
When I'm not behind a screen, you'll find me outside with friends, fishing, camping, hiking, and even whitewater kayaking. Beyond the forests, rivers, and parks closer to home, I'm a novice international traveler, too. She'll occasionally out-fish me, but my favorite adventure companion is Paula—and somehow, we always come home with a story.
Food. Fermentation. Fun.
Experimental chef and occasional food scientist. Enjoying the chemistry and biology of fermentation, from homebrewed beer and wine to hot sauces and even kimchi. I also love to fire up my Kamado Joe and enjoy awesome smoked or grilled foods with friends or perhaps test subjects for my latest creations...
The backstory.
I've been hacking on computers for as long as I can remember. JkbWorld started as a high-school thing around 1993, and somehow I'm still at it.
I've also accumulated great friends, a wonderful family, an army of cats, and more interests than I have time for.
