I live with my family on a working farm nestled deep in the heart of Texas.

For as long as I can remember, I've been dreaming up businesses. Everything from a home-brew soda company to a typewriter repair service (and plenty in between:)

I’m passionate about art, design, hospitality, and placemaking. And I love to share what I learn, so welcome!
