I’ve never been great at journaling. I’ve started a dozen notebooks that made it about three entries before they stalled out. But I keep coming back to the same idea: I want to leave a footprint.

Not a highlight reel. Not a brand. A footprint — the kind that says someone was actually here, actually thought about things, actually tried to live well and didn’t always get it right. That’s what this site is.

Living Interestingly is where I write things down so they don’t disappear. In some cases, rather than post up on social media channels, I leave it here. Some of it is what I’ve learned leading IT teams and building systems that actually hold up in the real world. Some of it is faith — the parts that are steady and the parts that are still a struggle. Some of it is just life: being a husband, being a dad to five kids, the ordinary days that turn out to matter more than the big ones.

I’m not writing this to build an audience or sell you something. I’m writing it because I want my kids — and maybe future grandkids — to be able to read what their dad actually thought about, not just what he did for a living. And if something I write helps you think through your own work, your own faith, or your own family along the way, that’s a good bonus. But it’s not the point.

A few things you should know about me, since you’re here:

I lead IT teams at the intersection of manufacturing, distribution, and technology that actually needs to work — not just look good in a slide deck. I have spent over 3 decades in IT and still get excited about the opportunity to use computing with everyday life.

The largest part of my life though is my faith in Christ. That part of my life isn’t separate from the rest of it — it shapes how I lead, how I show up at home, and how I try to treat people. I don’t have it all together. I’ve watched relationships fail, I’ve struggled with sin same as anyone, and there have been seasons where I doubted God could use someone like me. But He’s stayed faithful through all of it, and that’s worth writing down too.

And then there’s just life — five kids, a wife I don’t deserve, the everyday moments that don’t feel like much when they’re happening but turn out to be the whole point later.

I’ll admit I’ve gone quiet on this site before — life gets loud and writing gets pushed aside. But I’m coming back to it now, because a footprint only works if you keep walking.

If something here connects with you, I’d love to hear about it. And if you just want to read along as I figure things out — welcome. Glad you’re here.
