Taking a wonderfully crafted local brand & business built in 2016 by some amazing folks and, through the thoughtful application of my sometimes questionable brainpower, and more importantly the magical power of amazing people, growing it into whatever the future holds.

I put money into the money furnace and cool things I don't really need come out.

Grew some animals from money, and mud from clay. Determined that Fibromyalgia and farming are perhaps not ideal bedfellows. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Sure do miss them pigs though.

I got to help a whole new set of users - in new ways, and in an amazing location.

I helped folks integrate Stripe into their applications, and laid the groundwork for & helped build a formal data migrations team made up of engineers and operations folks.
