Maker, Explorer & Builder of Useful Things

About me

I build useful, beautiful things that make life easier.My work spans products, brands, and small experiments, often inspired by life near the ocean.I like things simple, and try to build that way too.I share what I’m building and learning in public.I spend as much time as I can with my kids, sometimes that means building things, sometimes it means dancing.

Projects

Things I’m building, testing, or learning from

Shore Ride

A simple product I created to make it easier to get boards and kayaks to the water without a car. It was born from my own paddle-boarding frustration and shared by others.

FastAds

A tool I built to quickly validate ideas by getting them in front of real people, helping me learn fast and decide what to build next.

Pepperscombe Farm

A farm space my wife and I are building together - a place to feel grounded, explore ideas, and slowly create something meaningful for our family and community.

Wordtracker

A keyword research tool I founded that taught me how people search, how demand forms, and how to spot new opportunities online.

Flock
