Now

I'm in a season of refining, rebuilding, and staying close to what matters most.

Work

• Buenas Coffee – Updating operations and expanding retail. Working to stabilize revenue after a few turbulent years.
• Zero Carbon Coffee – Building the white-label subscription platform. Preparing for launch.
• FLDWRK – Filling two office suites, growing coworking membership, and hosting more community events.
• FASTSIGNS of Irvine – Streamlining day-to-day operations. Focused on building a healthy, repeatable sales pipeline.

Family

One kid is graduating 8th grade. Another is graduating high school.
One just got their license, so now we have two teenage drivers in the house.
My wife is steadily making progress toward her hours to become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW).

Personal

Almost four years out from the surgery and chemo that saved my life. Grateful for continued remission.

Side Projects

This site is my quiet side project — a place to write, experiment, and share what I’m learning.

Reading & Thinking

Experimenting with AI, and how it's reshaping the way I build software. The tools are changing fast; the fundamentals of good work, less so.

Location

I prefer to spend my time in Costa Mesa, as always.
Lately, I've been making a few trips to Sacramento for work.
