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

While the lake
Does not contain
The cloud
The mind’s propensity
Fabricates that reality

Just as the blessing
Of the dharmakaya
Ripens in our own
Mindstream
Devotion and practice
Rejoice when the
Seed of devotion
Has blossom
In your practice.
No manner how dark it seems
The light of the dharma
Can guide us
Beyond our limited
Perception
On my return trip from LA to Denver, the window seat was worth it as I savored the sunset over the stunning Southwest. 🌅✈️

we seek the mountains
to escape the noise of others
only to find
the noise
of our minds

difficult to tame.
very short visit to santa fe on last trip. #santafe Cycle of dissolution

The Cathedral of Christ the Light in Oakland CA. The great Sufi poet Rumi said, “The wound is the place where the light enters you.” During my visit to Taos, I explored several remarkable sites, including Taos Pueblo, a Native American community that has been continuously inhabited for over 1,000 years. It’s fascinating to see the blend of tradition and modernity in such contexts; overall, without purpose, the beauty of the the superficial
can leave a bitter after taste
with motivation beyond the confines
of the ego
the beauty can be an offering
to all the sublime beings
that have demonstrated
the immeasurable vastness
of our potential.
{{content:words:40}} {{content:words:40}} Just wrapped up my first big trip with the truck and trailer, and it turned out to be a solid practice run on multiple levels. As a first-time truck owner, I wasn’t entirely sure where this rig could take me, Forgetting to enjoy the present moment but the remembrance is the start. Second time to this wonderful trail outside of Vegas. Only 6 miles round trip but the hot springs in the slot canyon makes it more than worthwhile. keyboard_arrow_left keyboard_arrow_right INSTAGRAM FEED
