that’s me, hi!

what I’m working on

Now

  • Arbor

    A whole homeschool year, planned around your kid. My wife Shelby and I built it together, so more families can teach at home without drowning in the work that isn’t the kids.

  • Buffer

    I help build Buffer: tools for sharing your work on social media.

  • Faith Lab

    I host Faith Lab: conversations about the evidence for Christianity.

what I care about

The best thing a family can have is time together.

I think the best thing a family can have is time together: a close home, and a childhood that isn’t swallowed by school. Homeschooling gives families that time. The planning, the lessons, and the records are the wall.

That’s why we built Arbor. It carries those hard parts so parents can stay at the table with their kids. That’s the work that matters most to me right now: helping families raise their children well, build a strong home, and actually have the hours to spend with each other.

  • The planning
  • The lessons
  • The records

Arbor carries these.
