If you’ve ever thought, “there has to be a saner way to live,” welcome. ProjectGoMad is my field notebook for building that life—one fix, one habit, one honest post at a time.
I mix hands-on craft with IT pragmatism to make things simpler, tougher, and easy to repeat. Boats show up sometimes because physics keeps you honest—but this isn’t about boats. It’s about direction.
The Creed
- Go Mad — choose the brave, practical move.
- No Rush — sustainable pace, compounding wins.
- Just Life — real budgets, real weather, zero gloss.
- Make → learn → share → repeat.
- Fix root causes. Label everything. Leave it better.
