About Me

Hi! My name is Mark and I live in beautiful southwest Wisconsin. I’m a husband and father of four kids and I currently work as a data engineer. Some of my interests include biking, playing volleyball, deep work, and going on adventures with my family. The best way to get in touch with me is via email, but you can also try to find me on Mastodon

About This Website

At least once a year I get the itch to make a website. The site you’re looking at now was started in November 2022. In reality I have little of importance to say or publish, but I do like to tinker on the web and share. My goal is to host all content I create on this site first and foremost. I don’t like the idea of going to a bunch of different social platforms to post pictures here, quick updates there, long format ideas somewhere else. And on the flip side, when I go to the web my preference is to seek out information without it being fed to me by an algorithm (as much as is feasible in 2022). Anyway, I just want to say that this site is a bit of an experiment, so don’t expect it to be around for long!
