About Me

Student PilotTechnologistModel Railroader

From the plains of North Dakota to the heart of Silicon Valley, I've always been fascinated by how things work. This site is a living document of my explorations into aviation, radio technology, model railroading, and the craft of building clean, efficient code for the web.

My goal is to share clear, practical knowledge that's immediately useful—whether you're learning to fly, setting up an HD Radio receiver, or building your first model railroad.
