What I’m Doing Right Now

Last updated Tuesday, June 17, 2025 from my home in Wisconsin.

I am currently on sabbatical from my full-time job at Zendesk. In my month off I am working on projects around the house and will spend a bit of time traveling with the family. I am trying to “unplug” during this sabbatical which means as little computer usage as possible - trying to focus on physical hobbies and tasks right now.

Recently

• I ran a half marathon race in May and finished with a time of 1:58:59.
• I released a new version of Notekeeper in March.

Upcoming

I am currently training for the 2025 Chicago Marathon, using the Hal Higdon intermediate 1 training plan.

Projects

• Olima - coming soon.
• oliver - a jekyll theme - a new design for my personal website. I really like Jekyll, but I have very little experience with frontend web development (mainly CSS), so it’s been a good learning project.
