What I'm doing now

October 16, 2026

I am a full time Sr. Business Systems Analyst at Charter Communications where I work as a subject matter expert in their internal ITSM tool. We completed migrating tools from Cherwell to Ivanti after their recent merger. I was a primary architect of the migration execution and was responsible for the conversion of over 4,000 processes. The migration was wild success as expected. We completed the project ahead of schedule and below budget while accomplishing the stated goals.

Perhaps the most consistently productive aspect of my life is due to the fact that I work an hour away from my home... so during my commute I listen to a lot of audio books (see the books page for my recently read books). Since the beginning of 2022, I have had a goal of reading 50 books each calendar year.... not just to hit that number, but to read 1,000 books ("a library" of books) over my lifetime and to generally be a well-read individual. I am still on pace to read over 50 in 2026 (at 42 today).

I spend time at our family's Coffee House during the rush before work every week-day and all day every Saturday. I thoroughly enjoy the time I get to spend participating in the growth of our little community. There are a lot of moving parts behind the scenes. Today we installed a brand new espresso machine! This is an upgrade that we have been eagerly awaiting. We will put it to good use. I have failed to keep up on writing poetry this year... I really must get back to it.

We are currently in the middle of a project to replace the roof on our house... we are way more than half way completed with it... all we lack is finishing.

Like so many others this year I have discovered the interest of using AI. I initially started some coding projects at home, then my work encouraged usage (and funded much of my education). I have built agents in both environments... and have learned much... I am both concerned for the future of society and optimistic of the possibilities they offer. we shall see... I should state it here that my words are my own. I will use them, but not to replace my voice.

What is this?

This is my "Now" page. It contains a description of what I am doing "right now". I stumbled across the idea on Rico Trebeljahr's website and really liked the idea. Turns out this is part of the nownownow project by Derek Sivers I'll attempt to keep it updated regularly-ish.
