Rooted in Southern Oregon

I’m Ty.
Glad you’re here.

I write, build software, and am learning to garden. I like big questions, practical projects, and time outside.

Thinking, making, and spending time with people all belong to the same exploration: how do we build a good life together?

Around here

You’ll often find me at 1 Million Cups in Grants Pass on Wednesday mornings. If we’ve crossed paths, I’d love to continue the conversation.

Let’s catch up

A few glimpses, over the years

There’s a life around the work.

Outside, among the trees, beside the water, and with something growing.

From the notebook

Ideas to spend
some time with.

I write to work through questions about living deliberately, learning, and building things that serve people.

These days

More learning.
More local connections.

I’m making room for the connections between my writing, software, practical projects, and the community around me. Some things work and some don’t. I’m learning as I go.
