About

I was born in 1983 with a rare form of dwarfism. Doctors predicted I'd face severe limitations. They weren't entirely wrong about the challenges — but they underestimated the design.

Today I live in Nashville, Tennessee with my wife and four children, two of whom navigate their own medical complexities. I've been through enough surgeries, sleepless nights, and hard conversations to know one thing for certain: resilience isn't willpower. It's design.

Professionally, I've spent 11+ years at Ramsey Solutions as a Platform Product Manager and Software Engineer in Test. I think in systems, frameworks, and feedback loops. Over time, I've learned to apply that same thinking to marriage, parenting, and the slow work of becoming a better human.

I write about all of it in Growing Grit — a weekly newsletter on purposeful resilience for dads carrying a lot. No hustle culture. No clichés. Just honest frameworks for people who show up even when it's hard.
