about

hey, I'm jon. I work for a startup here in kentucky in the proptech space. I've got about 7 years of product experience, pretty much all of it built from the ground up, and I've seen just about everything short of the big-corporation world when it comes to product management.

from everything being a genuine hot mess to scaling up to a couple million in ARR. and let me tell you, there's a real tough point somewhere in the middle of those two. that messy stretch in between is a lot of what I end up writing about here.

outside of work, I love video games, making cider and mead, hanging out with my doberman pippa, and spending time with my amazing friends and family.

what this place is

relax & read is my cozy little corner of the internet for reading and vibing at the same time. flip on the player in the bottom-right, pick a scene in the bottom-left (rain is a personal favorite), and settle in. everything here is low-pressure: short posts, easy reading, no popups.
