Mindful Toad

About

Updated August 30, 2024

I’m an uncle, 5K runner, minimalist, and writer. Michigan native, I now live in Greenville, South Carolina.

From 2013 to 2017, I traveled a lot: Chicago, Hawaii, Austin, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, Spain, Plovdiv, Belgrade, Budapest, Prague, Dublin, and Mexico. I lived in Miami Beach from March 2020 to September 2023 and moved to Greenville in November 2023.

This website is the home to all of my writing and projects. I’ll mostly write about meditation, running, and minimalism. I may also touch on remote work, psychology, money, software, productivity, philosophy, health, travel, Bitcoin, and hiking.

On October 6, 2024, I launched a substack.

Living mindfully. Free will is an illusion. All thoughts appear from the ether.
