Everything here started as something I made for my own students or my own shelf — a training course, a novel, a resume guide, a sketch. I’m sharing it in one place for now; each piece will eventually get its own dedicated corner as the collection grows.
I write to make sense of things — AI, work, and the strange world we’re all navigating together. Whether it’s a wry look at spotting fake progress or a story you can lose an evening in, there’s something here for you.

Everything on this page came out of the same place — thirty years of watching students struggle with problems that had simple, practical solutions once someone actually explained them. The books started as classroom stories. The tools started as things I built because nothing else did quite what I needed. Even the paintings are just another way of working something out on a surface until it makes sense.
This collection isn’t finished, and it never really will be — I’m currently recreating a set of step-by-step video tutorials, and there are always a few more chapters, a few more quiz packs, a few more sketches in progress. If you’d like to see how these ideas actually get made, or read the longer stories behind any of it, that’s exactly what the blog is for.
Prefer something more hands-on? The learning hub has practical tutorials to go with the ideas here, and if you’ve got a question about any of it, reach out directly — I read every message myself.
