I'm a web designer and front-end developer. I wrote The Art of Working Remotely, Handbook for the Modern Worker, and moderated a weekly #RemoteChat for 5 years. I've had the good fortune of having two awesome office pets: First Snowball, and now Phoebe.
I write a weekly newsletter at wanderfull.substack.com. It’s all about remote work, drawing daily, and other observations about living in this modern world.
I act, play guitar, sing, write books, and write random stuff on this web site. I drew daily in 2016, too.
Most of my posts are fitness-focused. If you've spent any time with me on trails, road, or in the water, you know that I enjoy writing the post-race report just as much as racing! See my race schedule for details, and enjoy my running, swimming and hiking posts. I track my workouts on Strava. Amy writes about her fitness exploits at skirtrunner.com.
If you're familiar with upstate New York, you may know of Taughannock Falls State Park. Taughannock is the tallest single-drop waterfall east of the Rocky Mountains. I love the park so much, I built a web site about it at taughannock.us.

2025: Year of the Half MarathonJune 9, 2025 – Unlike 2016, I didn’t “declare” this year the year of anything. It was a confluence of events that led to this being a mirror image of nine years ago.- Gorges Ithaca Half Marathon 2025June 8, 2025 – I toed the line with a half-dozen others and listened to the 3-2-1 countdown to the ram’s horn that sent us off, first through the streets of the Village of Trumansburg, then southward to Black Diamond and Ithaca.
- Boston's Run to Remember 2025May 25, 2025 – We last ran this race in 2016. It was Xander’s first half marathon, and I dubbed that year the “year of the half marathon.” I wrote a post about that year, and coincidentally, this year’s spring shaped up to be the same exact set of five half marathons.
