For over two decades I’ve worked inside complex systems — from living on the road as an over-the-road commercial truck driver to building a career as a technologist inside corporate environments.
Along the way I stayed deeply connected to operational life. For many years I lived and worked as a tenant farmer and spent over 2 decades working on thoroughbred racing and performance sport horse farms — places where precision, discipline, and systems thinking are part of everyday survival.
Across all of these environments I noticed something: the people who thrive are the ones who learn to see patterns, understand systems, and align their effort with what actually matters.
Wishbone Collective grew out of that realization.
Farms, trucking, and complex organizations all run on systems. That’s where I learned to see them.
This is where the idea began.

The Wishbone Idea
The Wishbone Idea
Wishbones are impossible dreams that come true.
Most people carry them quietly — ideas about how they want their lives to look, the work they want to do, and the freedom they hope to earn someday.
But wishbones don’t become real through wishful thinking.
They become real through design.
Wishbone Collective exists for people who think about life the way engineers think about systems — people who want to intentionally design their work, their time, and the final seasons of their lives.
This studio exists to help you turn wishbones into plans.
When was the last time you felt completely aligned with the work you were doing?

The kind of alignment where:
• your effort mattered
• your environment made sense

That moment leaves clues.

The Follow Spot Project
The Follow Spot Project
The Follow Spot Project is the systems framework behind the tools in this studio.
In theater and film, a follow spot is the light that finds the performer and stays with them as they move across the stage.
Life works the same way.
When you don’t know what matters most, the stage goes dark.
Energy scatters. Effort gets wasted.
But when the light finds you — when your goals, your work, and your direction align — everything becomes clearer.
The Follow Spot Project is about learning to aim that light intentionally.

Toolbox

Inside this studio I’m building a set of practical tools designed to help people see their lives and work more clearly.
Some tools help you identify patterns in your past — moments of energy, frustration, joy, and breakthrough.
Some help you define the kind of work environments where you perform at your best.
Others help you evaluate opportunities, roles, and life decisions with more clarity.
Together these tools form a simple idea:
When you can see the patterns in your life, you can design what comes next.
Some tools will be free. Others will be deeper guided tools and digital products released as the studio grows.
