A Message to Rowan
A letter to my son before he enters this world

Holding you, your soft face a wonder as the notes of jazz ride the blue light to the years ahead. Warp speed ahead, I see my black hole opened in your chest. Close mine for an opener- not the closer. Nothingness stops with me. This summer of 26. Heat retreating at last call into the crevices of earth. We aspire to heal, then hide and bury. But what we bury climbs back up in the dark. My brain cools into night. No more Zoom, no more clickity clackity. No more Morlock. We all curled up singing about hover chocolates, and I laid my head on mommy’s leg. Next to you, crumbs, and kitties. Four whole heroes ready for the dawn. It was never enough, but we were. 📸 https://lykdfrgkwzswynrovsxr.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/user-media/twilio-user/1785161470085.jpeg

A letter to my son before he enters this world

A free index of every in-person Utah tech event I could find, and a short note on why I made it.


Let me look again. Take the glasses off. No wait! He’s leaning back into your arms. Maybe one day you’ll get another chance. Another moment.

I'm trying to re-wire all my socials through my blog. Back in 2019, I 'quit social media' and other than posting pictures of my family, I've primarily followed that directive.

Joined the Y Combinator-backed SaaS startup. Grew to VP of Engineering & Operations. Part of the team behind Ruth — an autonomous AI negotiation agent trained on $15B+ in spend data.

My mind doesn't pretend to deserve this. Saved by grace? I'm lucky.
