About

I’m a builder, writer, and systems-minded generalist working at the intersection of technology, place, and human meaning.

My work ranges from hands-on electronics repair and custom hardware to long-form writing on philosophy, history, and the lived realities of rural and post-industrial communities. I’m interested in how systems—technical, social, and economic—shape everyday life, and how small, well-designed interventions can restore agency at the local level.

This blog is a workspace rather than a brand showcase. You’ll find essays, field notes, technical breakdowns, and works-in-progress: reflections on philosophy of mind and logic, documentation from maker projects, experiments in media and storytelling, and observations drawn from Appalachia and the broader American landscape.

I value clarity over spectacle, depth over speed, and tools that last. If there’s a through-line here, it’s an attempt to understand how things work—and how they might work better—without losing sight of the people living inside those systems.
