Each mindful moment births a line of mindful code.

Lines of code danced in my head before I ever walked a mile on the Camino. Building Kopply, our first tech dream, was a frantic ballet of coding sprints and late-night brainstorming. We dreamt of connecting people, and though it didn't rocket to success, it planted a seed within us.

That seed blossomed on the dusty path of the Camino de Santiago. For 1230 miles, Janine and I walked, not just across Spain, but into the depths of ourselves. Beneath the vast canvas of stars, minimalism became necessity, yoga and meditation, anchors in the ever-shifting sands of the journey. We weren't novices, this was a homecoming to a truth we'd glimpsed before.

The Camino didn't just shape us, it birthed Color Breeze, a program where mindfulness dances with the vibrant hues of coloring. This isn't just a digital coloring book; it's a sanctuary. We weave positive affirmations into every brushstroke, and equip users with techniques to carry mindfulness beyond the screen.

And while Color Breeze blossomed, lines of code continued to whisper in my ear. The frantic energy of Kopply gave way to the quiet hum of automation. I built tools to tame the chaos of our small business, Shopify and blog surrendering to the efficiency of my code. This wasn't just engineering, it was an extension of my mindful practice, a way to simplify and focus.

This, my friends, is the tapestry of my life. Code isn't just strings of characters, it's a symphony of intention. Mindfulness isn't just meditation, it's the mindful touch that shapes every line I write.

I'm not just a coder, I'm a bridge builder, connecting the bustling tech world with the serene oasis within. This journey, from pixels to pilgrimage, makes me a thoughtful teammate, an ethical engineer, and above all, a human weaving code with the colors of calm.
