Starting things since 1994

I build things I can't stop thinking about.

Entrepreneur's Emporium is where I follow curiosity into real products and services.

A warm old shopfront with the door open and shelves of books, maps, and handmade objects inside.
How I work

At the bench, not just at launch

I follow an itch, build the smallest real version, and stay when it’s still interesting.

01

Follow the
itch

Every project starts because I wanted it to exist. It's not a market map, but a personal itch.

02

Build the smallest real version

I make it work for me first. If it’s useful, it grows. If it’s just fun, that’s enough too.

03

Stay for
what's next

Launch week is noisy. Year three is where the craft lives. I’m here for all of it.

I have never been able to leave a good idea alone. Starting the thing is the easy part - growing it is my whole craft.

Got an idea you keep circling back to?

Let's talk about it. I read and answer everything myself, usually within a day or two.
