The HOP Nerd

Jack of all trades? Maybe. Master of whatever rabbit hole is in front of me? Absolutely.

Writing a bio like this is a nightmare..

How do you squeeze in kick butt husband and dad, small business owner helping companies globally make work safer and “suck less,” Phoenix-based photographer, film shooter, home developer, occasional (but currently terrible) tintype maker, global keynote speaker, storyteller, writer, consultant, podcaster, camera and typewriter mechanic, maker of things, drawer and painter of bad art, and a guy with a clinical dependence on cold brew coffee?

I used to think I had to keep these worlds separate. But that’s exhausting, dumb, and inauthentic. It’s all just me.

This channel is the intersection of those worlds. You’ll find insights on Human & Organizational Performance (HOP) alongside deep dives down creative rabbit holes. Whether I’m on a keynote stage or behind a camera in Phoenix, the goal is the same: to be helpful, to be curious, and to make cool things.
