I turn chaos into opportunity, building startups and tools that empower creators and entrepreneurs. As the founder of Scoutzie and author of The Novice, I'm passionate about solving real problems with lean, innovative solutions.
I like building things, it makes me happy.
Currently rebuilding the designer marketplace I created in 2012. Because I still haven't found anything better.

Visit Project →We own a coworking space in Colorado where I had a chance to do it all. I designed and built the custom booking system, painted the walls, assembled furniture, handled marketing and advertising, sourced coffee, and mopped the floors, managed operations, and everything in between. If it had to be done, I probably did it at least a few times.
Visit Breckworks →Useful tools I've built for developers and creators
A handy script to count lines of code in your Git repositories. Perfect for tracking project growth and development progress.
Open Tool →Most of my tools and projects are available on GitHub. Feel free to fork, contribute, or learn from them.
Every tool I create solves a real problem I've encountered. If it's useful to me, it might be useful to you too.
Sometimes I read books. Here are some that shaped my thinking.

Same old, 100 years later.

A must read book for engineers.

We are living in it.
by Orson Scott Card
Question everything.
I don't read for entertainment - I read to learn. Every book should teach me something I can apply to building better products or running a better business. If a book doesn't change how I think or act, it wasn't worth the time.
