this is the part i hate. writing about myself.

i’ll start at the beginning:

grew up in alaska, 4th * generational irish people, been here and there the past few years.
roamed the planet racing bikes and skis. this before phones, gps, or * digital cameras.
raised a family in boulder, colorado.
researched life on earth from space for about a decade.
wrote a ton of software, some that i am even proud of.
founded, built, and ran dojo4 for almost exactly a decade.
ranted about the dangerous of big tech, and responbility of software developers, in kyiv 2015.
mentored dozens of techstars startups, worked with and for over a hundred.
2020 // COVID // massive life changes. collapse. like everyone else.
subsequently, a ton of * mountains.
somehow managed to get lost in the southwest for the 42’nd time in my life.
started riding my bike to * alaska.
met a girl in LA.
almost died in an ice cave.
been cranking on a new stuff.
and riding bikes with a broken leg.

this is absolutely and _always a work in progress…

so check back soon or just contact me if you are a-wondering wtf is up?
