Hi, my name is Brian.
I've tried to categorize myself many times, but my interests cover a wide range: woodworking, sewing, programming, backpacking, and many more. The best way I can think to categorize myself is as a do-it-yourself guy who loves learning new things.
Having said that, I am a professional software engineer. My career transitioned in 2018 and I continue to write code to this day.
To learn more about me, check out my about page. I also write here on my site.

My friend Colin and I planned to go hiking at P.J. Hoffmaster State Park today, and last minute I decided to bring my 2 oldest boys.
We got a good 2 mile round trip hike in, we all had a good time walking through the damp forest to the beach.
The view as we came out of the woods to Lake Michigan is always fun to see!
For these garden signs I'm making, I ended up buying a brass stencil set and traced out the letters on strips of wood. I need to paint and clear-coat them next.
This is what ChatGPT came up with for me when I was looking for inspiration. I'll post what I end up coming up with myself when I get the real ones made!
