Writing
I write every week about AI, systems, and running a business with a brain that works differently. My weekly newsletter, From Farm to Database Table, is the best way to follow along. This page also has The Order of Operations, my essays, and the books and research from my years in education.

From Farm to Database Table
A weekly email from me. One idea a week on ADHD, systems, and the business you built anyway.
I grew up on a soybean and potato farm that my Poppop ran, and his dad before him. He never used a computer in his life. He bought me my first one, a Tandy 1000 from Radio Shack, when I was in kindergarten. That’s where the newsletter’s name comes from.
The Order of Operations
Peter and I write this newsletter together on LinkedIn. Each issue takes one step in the order that makes AI useful in a small business. It starts with the step most people skip: deciding what stays human before you add any AI at all.
