I've spent more than twenty years in sales, and the biggest lesson I've learned is simple: the best work comes from paying attention to what people need and showing up for them. That habit shapes how I approach almost everything, including the projects on this site.

These days, the brand I'm pushing hardest is Sunlight City. Our designs are sold as stickers, magnets and shirts in the Sunlight City Sticker Mule store, plus posters on TeePublic, Redbubble and Displate. It's the same lesson sales taught me, applied to something fun: pay attention to what people like, then show up with it.

I've also been a techy for as long as I can remember. I built my first PC more than 35 years ago and never stopped tinkering, from coding and web development to automation, under my CSAD Productions banner. Today a lot of that tinkering goes into building Sunlight City with Si/Ai.

The projects here started with things I already loved: travel, a good pour of bourbon, and Nike Air Max 90s. I wanted an easier way to map our trips, know what's on the bourbon shelf, and keep track of the shoes. So I started building with a team of AI bots I call Si/Ai. They handle the repetitive work and keep the details straight, and I bring what sales taught me: figure out what's needed, then show up for it.

Home is York, PA, with Erin, Payton and our four dogs. For me, working smarter, not harder, is really about giving time back, and that time is for them.
