About

I'm a husband and dad, a U.S. Army veteran, an urban farmer, and a builder. I spend my days making things I can own — governance systems, infrastructure, a production studio, a garden.

I help steward governance on the Cardano blockchain, host Governance Matters, run MelloD Designs, and write fiction. I'm a reformed IT nerd of 25+ years, and a brain-injury survivor — I write about resilience, not as a headline but because it's true.
