The short version

In my early life I was identified as good at solving problems. On the recommendation of many with good intentions, I continued on a track good problem solvers are sent towards to find success. I got paid very nicely to solve very complicated problems at very neat places. You can say I reached success as a problem solver. Yet, I felt an emptiness. Even after I did all the things and solved all the problems I was supposed to solve. I thought now what?

I returned home to find the small things that bring me delight. I got curious about what brings me joy and grief. I realized it's ok to stay in a problem. Problems are fun! I discovered clown around that time. And now I'm different. I intend to share this of myself with you.

Oh, and I have a dog named Manny.

I still code to pay the bills, but honestly it's all going towards my fuck around and find out budget.
