Barring all of my interests in web and tech, I'd say I value helping others, understanding play and how it brings people together, and just making things for the sake of making! I've always followed my curiosity and out of luck had no supervision on the computer as a child, so I learned a ton just by doing. Being a father now is the greatest title I can achieve and my life's work is ensuring I can provide some guidance and direction to my son the way I wish I did growing up.

I’m struck, also, by the evident personal journey. Having learned without supervision you now look to supervise for learning. What was the lesson that you wouldn’t replicate what worked for you?

Great question! I can sort of paradoxically attribute most of my success to how quickly I had to grow up; my younger brother was severely autistic and needed to be taken care of his whole life. I was kinda left to figure things out on my own. Having access to a computer with an internet connection in the boom of social networks in the early 2000s guided my curiosity and led me to stumble upward into my success. It's hard to say how parenting would have changed any of that, but I do attribute it to my lack of discipline and getting good at suppressing bad emotions (people pleasing) and events (hiding poor grades by forging signatures). At best I just want my son to learn that being smart (or rather, clever) can take you far but discipline and consistency can take you anywhere you can go. All this to say I'm happy where I am but it took a lot of reflection and patience to accept how everything played out.
