Jack now resides in the aftermath of the American Dot Com Dream. Following a tepid stint as a software engineer amidst the zenith of the dot boom, he pivoted his career trajectory to pursue photography. Presently, he finds fulfillment in the endeavor to establish an innovative creative agency, one that seamlessly melds his passion for art, technology, and purpose.
He ardently believes in the potential of business as a force for positive societal change, particularly in a culture fixated on short-term gains and purely economic benefits. Consequently, he endeavors to infuse his personal ethos into his professional endeavors by championing nonprofit causes and embarking on a long-term exploration of Buddhism’s relevance in the contemporary landscape.
He has another portfolio website that contains a collection of landscapes and personal projects. His work portfolio is here.

What inspires you?
I am inspired by people/organizations that are making a difference in a sustainable way while incorporating seemingly disparate trains of thought. Whether it’s combining technology and creativity to solve social issues or using social issues to drive a bottom line, the synthesis of these ideas and how they manifest gets me up every day much earlier than I should.
Favorite Destination?
Vietnam, India, Tibet.
Favorite Place to Eat?
Turtle Tower, Chez Maman, Henry Hunan, Ti Couz.
Do you have any special/hidden talents?
I’ve been complimented on my cooking skills on occasion.

I haven`t to that many large shows as the venues for these types of shows are generally not that interesting. well, if you are ever in denver and like a unique concert experience, Red Rocks Amphitheater is nothing short of awesome. Although from where I was seating, the sound was good but not quite as loud that I am normally used to for shows! alas, @mothercain was a glorious anti rock star vibe.

It`s been challenging to put roots down when I feel like I am more often than not travelling for work and etc. Even when I am in town, I am still spreading my time in between various buddhist centers for different reasons but I am thinking by this time next year, I hope to be a bit more grounded. Which is to say, I`ve probably attended Mipham Shedra in Westminster the most in the past year or so. Today was the first big public event I attended for a land blessing that was led by Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche. After many years of significant obstacles, the center is finally beginning the construction for the expansion of the space, hence the blessing. May the dharma continue to spread for the benefit for all sentient beings!

Normally an opening band is pretty obscure unknown act but @desire_musicofficial put on a delicious set for all the metal heads.
Kudos to @lookatfiona.mp3, @hanapruz and @skullcrusher.online for wonderful intimate evening of indie ballads.
An old college joined me last month for a few days as we enjoyed the biggest state park in california, Anza-Borrego Desert. Weather was just right as any other time of year would be super challenging. Enjoy some nice off roading to get to some of these remote sites and even got the fly the drone while he was driving. On the last day we hike into an true Oasis area and was shock to find that we were the only ones enjoying little pool with breezy palm trees singing in the afternoon.
About 90 mins outside of Las Vega`s is a little disperse camping spot know as steward`s point. I made it my base station (Jan 2025!) as I couldn`t get a campsite in Valley of the Fire State Park. Well, it turn out mighty fine location for my drone shots. Since I got in the late evening, I didn`t get the chance to scout for a more scenic campsite but I am not complaining!
