I missed the marathon lottery this year. Didn't stop me. I joined Team Morton Arboretum instead, because this race matters more than a bib number.

I'm a runner, a dad to a wild little guy named Elias, and someone who genuinely believes trees are the infrastructure nobody talks about. Every training run through green spaces reminds me what we'd lose without them. The Morton Arboretum, 1,700 acres of living research right here in the Chicago suburbs, is doing the quiet unglamorous work of keeping those spaces alive for the next generation.

I'm raising $2,200 to support that work. Beyond the giveaways, I'm also offering my time and skills directly to donors. Whether you need business consulting, advisory support, mentorship, 3D printing services, or help setting up OpenClaw as your AI assistant, I'm putting it all on the table. Donate and let's talk about what I can do for you.

To sweeten the deal further, I'll be doing donor giveaways throughout the campaign, dropping collectibles, video games, and original artwork to supporters along the way. Fully compliant with IL raffle laws and approved by the Morton Arboretum.
