Built for signal.
Born in Chicago in the 90s to Irish parents. Competitive golf since 11. Built a computer at 10. Lived out of a campervan in the Irish countryside as a digital nomad. Still chasing clean strikes—on fairways and in telemetry.
My story
I was born in Chicago in the 90s to Irish parents who brought old-country grit into a city that doesn’t hand out anything for free. By ten, I was building my first computer—less “origin story,” more a stubborn need to understand what was inside the box. That curiosity never left. It just grew up and learned how to log.
At eleven, I found competitive golf. I traveled and competed around the country through IJGA, PJGT, AJGA, IJGT, and US Kids Golf. Long drives, early mornings, and the quiet pressure of a scorecard that doesn’t care how you feel. Golf taught me patience, accountability, and how to keep moving after a bad shot.
Later, I chased a different kind of freedom—living out of a campervan as a digital nomad in the Irish countryside. That season reinforced what I still believe: systems should be designed so you can step away without everything catching fire.
