Writer, technologist, and electronic music artist
I publish long-form writing across leadership, personal experience, and music, and release electronic music under the name ZenOne. Each project serves a distinct audience, but all share a focus on clarity, depth, and craft.
First Order (Substack)

Unbroken Bond (Substack)
Estrangement, parental alienation, and ambiguous loss
Unbroken Bond is a contemplative, inward-facing Substack exploring estrangement, parental alienation, and ambiguous loss. The work is grounded in lived experience and written with restraint, dignity, and psychological safety.

Morphic (Substack)
Exploratory writing and systems-level thinking
Morphic is a space for experimental essays and systems-oriented thinking that does not fit cleanly into leadership, personal writing, or music.

While these projects serve different audiences, they reflect a shared interest in systems, identity, and how people operate under pressure - whether in leadership, family life, or creative work.
