Hey, I’m Bud.
If you’re here, something probably caught your attention. Maybe it was the writing or maybe the questions underneath it.
This is a space for reflective writing about growing, adapting, and staying grounded while life keeps shifting. I explore that through essays on midlife, change, health, technology, creativity, and the quieter transitions we don’t always talk about.
No hacks. No hustle. No toxic positivity.
Just slower thinking, stories, experiments, and reflections shaped by real life.
What You Can Expect
Human-centered writing (written by me, not scripts or shortcuts)
Essays on change, identity, attention, and creative life
Personal experiments in living with more intention
Honest reflections on health, technology, aging, and meaning
Real life, as it is—messy, hopeful, unfinished
Why my name?
After years of starting projects that slowly became more about branding, I wanted something simpler.
Using my name keeps me grounded in the work.
No niche chasing. No funnel thinking.
This is a container for exploration. For learning when to yield, when to stand firm, and how to keep moving without losing yourself.

If you value depth over hype, presence over speed, and reflection over noise, this space might be for you.
This is writing for curious humans navigating growth with resilience, creativity, and the occasional dad joke.
A Few Things About Me
I stole the idea for this section from Zack Arnold
I spoke about Editing Your Life with Christine Koh at a conference in Washington, DC
I got my first tattoo at 56 (no, it wasn’t a midlife crisis)
I was diagnosed with diabetes in 2017, but manage it through lifestyle and exercise
I’ve been a licensed physical therapist for over 25 years, with 50,000+ patient sessions
I’ve authored more than two dozen continuing education courses for clinicians
I love building things and taking them apart to see how they work
I once served as best man at a Korean Baptist wedding in the Bronx
Writing helps me think. I hope it helps others do the same.
