A writer from Southeast Texas. Hunter, cook, and student of the natural world.
I am a pipeline and industrial construction quality professional based in League City, Texas. I grew up on a cattle ranch, learned to work with my hands before I learned to work with systems, and have spent nearly two decades doing both across some of the largest transmission pipeline projects in North America.
Outside of pipeline, I write. My first book, On the Ethics of Killing: The Moral Math of Eating, is a work of moral philosophy examining the hidden cost of every meal. I also build software, including FDQ, a proprietary pipeline quality certification platform, and Atlas Competition, a sanctioning and event management platform for the sport of strongman.
I hunt the Gulf Coast marshes and Piney Woods. I train. I cook. I restore vehicles. I am working toward the Texas Big Game Awards slam. I have been married to Kaylynn since it mattered.
A work of moral philosophy examining the hidden cost of every meal. Drawing on thermodynamics, ecology, and a lifetime spent in the Gulf Coast marshes and Piney Woods of Texas, the book argues that modern life has perfected the art of hiding its own machinery — and that we have mistaken that distance for moral progress.
For readers of Steven Rinella, Michael Pollan, and Tovar Cerulli. Ten chapters across three phases. One argument that holds up under pressure.
