Iceland photography trip

Hi, I’m Jason—a product manager, tinkerer, musician, homesteader, and bird paparazzi. After stepping away from my tech career in 2023 to find the next big adventure, I have spent my days wrangling chickens, automating my house to sci-fi levels, and trying to convince the birds in my yard to pose like supermodels.

I live in the shadow of Mount Rainier, where Kim and I grow our own veggies and discover creative ways to outsmart wildlife (spoiler: they usually win). When I’m not chasing feathered creatures with a camera, I’m geeking out over gadgets, home automation, and projects that inevitably start with “I wonder if I could…”

This blog is where I share the chaos, the creativity, and occasionally something useful. Stick around—you might just laugh, learn, or leave wondering how I got this far in life without a safety net.
