This page is meant to offer a clear, human overview of who I am and how the different parts of my work and life connect. It’s written as a sequence of thematic segments rather than a résumé — something you can read top-to-bottom, or dip into where curiosity pulls you.

Quick Peek

My work and interests span public service, systems thinking, technology, writing, music, and community media. Rather than treating these as separate identities, I see them as different expressions of the same underlying orientation: understanding how systems shape people, how people reshape systems, and how meaning emerges at that intersection.

This profile is not about presenting a single polished narrative. It’s about coherence — showing how the parts relate, even when they live in different domains.

Professional Glance

My professional practice exists within public-sector and public-safety contexts, where governance, accountability, and real-world outcomes must coexist. I have experience working with Grants & Contributions (G&Cs), operational frameworks, and institutional processes that require both rigor and adaptability.

A significant dimension of this work involves Indigenous expertise and engagement. I approach this as an ongoing practice rather than a completed competency — grounded in listening, respect, and an awareness of how institutional systems intersect with Indigenous knowledge, sovereignty, and lived realities. I am particularly interested in how organizations can move beyond performative inclusion toward structures that support long-term, meaningful outcomes.

???

Across domains, I think in systems — social, technical, cultural, and psychological. This perspective informs how I approach governance, how I design and maintain infrastructure, and how I create and interpret art.

I’m drawn to points where systems quietly fail, where incentives misalign, or where human complexity exceeds what a framework can hold. Much of my work — professional and creative — is an attempt to surface those tensions and work with them rather than around them.

Linux Homelab

My Linux home lab is both a practical environment and a philosophical one. Built around Proxmox, containers, virtual machines, ZFS storage, and self-hosted services, it reflects values of autonomy, resilience, transparency, and learning by doing.

The lab is not just about tooling; it’s about understanding infrastructure from the inside out — how data moves, how systems fail, and how complexity can be made legible. It serves as a sandbox for experimentation, problem-solving, and long-term thinking about technology ownership and control.

Creative Writing

Writing is where many threads come together. I write to clarify thought, integrate experience, and explore meaning across time. My work includes reflective essays, conceptual writing, and commentary that draws from psychology, systems theory, public service, and lived experience.

I am actively working toward a non-fiction book, intended as a long-form exploration of individuation, systems, culture, and responsibility. This site will eventually host essays, notes, and excerpts that trace the development of that project.

Music

Music is another primary language for me. Through projects such as SOMA, I treat albums as cohesive narratives rather than collections of tracks. These works explore themes of individuation, rupture, integration, and transformation, drawing from electronic, disco, jazz, and experimental traditions.

Albums function as documents — capturing particular internal states and moments in time. Sound becomes a way of expressing what language cannot fully contain, while still participating in a larger narrative arc.

Volunteer Work at CKCU

My volunteer work with CKCU reflects a commitment to community media and cultural space. Radio offers something increasingly rare: curation, presence, and room for voices that exist outside algorithmic optimization.

This work connects naturally with my interests in sound, storytelling, and public discourse — creating shared spaces where culture can unfold rather than be compressed.

Motorcycle

Riding a motorcycle represents a more embodied form of systems engagement. It requires attention, risk awareness, and an intimate relationship with a machine and the environment.

It serves as a counterbalance to abstract and screen-bound work — grounding thought in motion, consequence, and physical presence.

Parenting???

I am also a parent, which quietly shapes everything else. Parenting introduces constraint, responsibility, and a long horizon of time — grounding ideas about systems, care, and legacy in daily reality.

This is less a content area than a contextual one, but it informs how I think about work, impact, and the future we are actively building.

Meta

The common thread across all of these domains is individuation — the process of becoming more fully oneself while remaining in relationship with others and accountable to the systems we inhabit.

I am interested in where autonomy, responsibility, and meaning intersect, and how those intersections can be explored through public service, technology, writing, music, and community engagement.

Evergreen

This page is not finished, and it isn’t meant to be. Sections will expand, reorganize, or branch into their own spaces as new work emerges. The goal is not completion, but clarity — a coherent sense of how the parts fit together as they continue to evolve.
