About me

Making stuff makes me happy. I try to be as prolific as possible. 

My 'normal' job is Founder and CEO of Cortex, a company I started in 2015 after graduating college. We have a team of about 20 people and work with hundreds of healthcare providers in over 30 states. We've saved thousands of lives and improved the quality of care for hundreds of thousands of patients. I spend a vast majority of my time building Cortex and it is my real love and passion. 

But, nights and weekends, my brain keeps going and I just want to make more stuff. I believe my core artistic style is provocative social commentary or an exploration of different materials as building blocks. My goal is to one day have a design studio with a group of artists and hackers that is a mix of the Onion and Mr. Beast's studio where we just make projects like what I've done with PlaceboX.com, GreenCircleEquipment.com and SacredWhale.org. Get them out in the world. Make more of them. Ruffle some feathers. Creatively give people a new perspective.

If any of my art offends you, I'm only slightly sorry.

I grew up in Utah and currently reside in Salt Lake City. I have lived in Sweden, Boston and China.

  • Double Take

    I love making things that are suprising or take a second look because they are made of elements that are not obvious.

  • Social Commentary

    A lot of my pieces are about extreme capitalism and silly aspects of American culture.

  • Educational

    I'm thrilled to learn and enjoy finding ways to educate people about a wide variety of topics.
