Field note № 01 A life in progress

Useful work.
An honest life.

A tech and media executive turned school bus driver, baker, inventor, and multigenerational dad—sharing what proves useful along the way.

“Sage isn’t a title.
It’s a direction.”

The throughline

Different roads.
One body of work.

For years, I worked in technology and media—building teams, solving complex problems, and living at the pace of an always-on industry. That chapter did not disappear. It became part of a larger life.

Today, I drive a school bus. I bake sourdough. I invent, experiment, and build small ventures. I am a father across generations, learning that experience is less about having answers than knowing which questions are worth sitting with.

  1. 01Hands before screens.

    Make, knead, draw, climb. The physical world teaches through resistance and discovery.

  2. 02Engagement over attention.

    Attention can be captured. Engagement is chosen.

  3. 03Connection is the product.

    The work matters most when it becomes a reason to gather and talk.
