2025 Projects

October

It's almost Halloween! 🎃
This means it's time for my annual obligatory jack-o-lantern post. (Truly, one of the few things I put on Instagram, because I'm bad at social media!)

As for work...
The consultancy is taking off. Still working with business leaders and owners to solve interesting problems. I'm also building out a network of subject-matter experts in various specialties and industries.


July—September

I left my job of 12 years to start a management consultancy with a focus on strategy. Much of my time is spent helping executives solve interesting business problems. The work is highly varied and exciting.

In other news, I started playtesting Feng Shui Fortress, my quirky board game about furnishing and fortifying your very own lair.

June & July

Some professional changes are coming. I plan to take my consulting experience to a new level. More to come on that subject. In the meantime, I may be slow to update this site while I get everything else up and running.

Also, I'm working on a new board game. The current idea is a mashup of tower defense and interior decorating (not a joke). It's goofy and punny and fairly strategic. I'm looking forward to playtesting it with some local groups soon.


April & May

In late May, I made some music for a Game Music Contest put on by our local game development group, POTIONS & PIXELS. I chose to base it on Animal Crossing: New Horizons. It's called Puddle Jumping, and it's inspired by playing outdoors on rainy days.

Met some really great people during the process! Working and playing around so many creative people is very inspiring for me.


Other recent projects include:

  • โ˜” building a low-budget alternative iCloud/Google Drive for photo storage and sharing
  • ๐Ÿ‘น helping my friend make a unique board game about gigantic monsters running for president โ€” (We playtested it in June!)

When I'm not working on those projects or spending time with friends and fam, I am currently...

  • ๐Ÿ“š reading: Anything You Want —and re-reading through the rest of Derek Sivers' books;
    next up is either Building Blocks of Tabletop Game Design or "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!"
    ...More on books here
  • ๐Ÿ•น๏ธ playing: Outer Wilds, Brotato, and D&D, mostly
  • ๐Ÿฟ watching: Severance. Also a lot of Game Changer and Make Some Noise, both of which are purportedly shows made by adults at work.
