Generate Joy

Photography

STUDIO WORK. LIVE EVENTS.

Photography has always been a part of me. I love capturing moments and working with people who are passionate about what they do. I am available for onsite and studio projects.

Design

SOFTWARE DESIGN. CLOUD APP DEVELOPMENT.

I've been building commercial software and web applications for more than 25 years. I specialize in mobile and web technologies with a strong focus on end user experience.

Music

PLAYING. WRITING. LISTENING.

Music is a universal language. It has the unique ability to move us. As we embrace it, we get emotional currency that connects us to something greater than ourselves.

Creative

Smooth flavor. No calories.

There are moments in the creative process where something unseen flows through you like a rushing stream. You learn to embrace these moments.

This is your day. A beautiful new canvas of possibility. 

What will you create?

May you choose joy in every moment as you discover new ways to paint your masterpiece. May you find happiness with each color you choose and take the moment to experience each layer you add.

May you find your voice with each stroke of the brush. May you gain strength as you contribute the movement and energy to your creation.

There is something I have to get off my chest Google. 

I am a small business owner and entrepreneur that has spent a good part of my life writing a health club management application called FirmPOS. Our website has been on the Internet since 1998.

As an introvert, this is something I have struggled with my entire life. Sitting on the sidelines evaluating the odds of failure, rejection or even someone hurting you. All the while, everyone else has "jumped in".

After a harsh break up with someone I loved dearly, I made a good many adjustments in my life. There were several things I had to do for me and lots of questions that needed answers.

If I were asked to leave a few final words that might be found by another seeker, I would say the number one thing I have learned in this life is to be generous.

Do it big. Do it to the best of your ability. Do it quietly.

Be generous.

Be generous with your time, talents, abilities, resources, energy, forgiveness, mercy, patience and money. Don't wait to be asked for help. Focus on becoming sensitive to the needs around you and then give what you are able. Do it quietly and as anonymously as humanly possible.

So, my latest, surprise literary work came totally by accident. I'll explain... it's called â€œNOW. The Complete Sunday Transcript by Ash and ChatGPT"

What started as a casual Sunday conversation about a mysterious scientist somehow turned into an unexpected little literary work.

We were exploring ideas for a book about consciousness, time, memory, and the possibility that reality is much bigger than we perceive.

We didn't arrive at any conclusions. But somewhere along the way, we realized something wonderful...

The conversation itself was the book.

Unplanned, unedited in spirit, occasionally funny, and full of questions neither of us expected to ask.

So here it is. A little something for curious minds who enjoy a good philosophical mind fuck. ❤️

We move through life as if the world we see, hear, and touch is all there is. Yet every so often—between breaths, in sudden clarity—we sense something more.

So... it's been 114 degrees for a month straight. omg lol - I miss the rain.

"MatĂ­as" is the story of one small raindrop who leaps from the cloud, falls through the sky, and sinks into dry ground. He becomes a sprout, then a tree — shade, fruit, and a place where people gather year after year. Lives come and go under his branches. And all of it started with one quiet gift from the sky.
