Curiosity, learning, and whatever comes next.

Welcome to my corner of the internet.

I retired in 2026 after a long and rewarding career in technology leadership and enterprise transformation. I worked with some remarkable people, tackled interesting problems, and attended more meetings than anyone reasonably should.

These days, I’m enjoying the freedom to pursue interests simply because they interest me. Family, classical music, books, chess, running, and cycling occupy a good deal of my time. I’m also exploring a few new pursuits, with varying degrees of competence.

Technology still fascinates me, especially how it shapes our lives. I just no longer feel obligated to turn that fascination into a PowerPoint presentation.

This site is a place to share an occasional thought about a book, a piece of music, technology, or whatever else catches my attention.

No publishing schedule, no grand ambitions. Just a place to put things that seem worth sharing.
