My Story

My path hasn’t followed a straight line. I studied art in college before moving into advertising, photography, and digital media. After nearly a decade of professional creative work, I felt pulled toward building something of my own and spending more time working outdoors.

That eventually led me to build a landscaping and property-maintenance business. Along the way, I taught myself to diagnose and repair the equipment I depended on, often working directly from the tailgate of my truck. That experience became the Tailgate Small Engine Repair book series: practical field manuals built from problems I’ve encountered and lessons I’ve learned firsthand.

Today, I’m bringing those different parts of my life together—entrepreneurship, creative work, practical problem-solving, and personal experience. My goal is to create useful content, build sustainable income, and openly share what I learn along the way.
