This site is a collection of my thoughts and personal projects on living a happier, healthier, more sustainable life—and other stuff I find interesting. Welcome!

After several years of living and working in Washington, DC, I recently returned home to Kentucky. I am married to an awesome woman, Michelle. When not working at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, I enjoy spending time outside in my garden, drinking strong coffee, and playing around with cameras. 

I served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Burkina Faso from 2012 to 2014, a time that was truly transformative and one that I documented on my blog and in a book that I published, Service Disrupted.

Most recently, my main focus has been my YouTube channel, where I document my life and have fun making videos—ok, most of the time it’s fun, other times it’s stressful but that is self-imposed stress. My goal in life is to live a fulfilling, healthy, sustainable life, and to help others do the same. Hopefully, this website will play a part in that goal.
