ABOUT

I launched The Tiny Company Called Me on January 1, 1999. 

Before 1999, I worked at a film + video house in Colorado Springs where, among other duties, I guided the story development for EdgeTV a quarterly video magazine for people working with teenagers + families.

Before that, I was a card-carrying youth worker in Solana Beach, California and Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Before that, I worked at a printing company and, before that, a marriage encounter group (not to be confused with the Marriage Encounter movement, from which the group I worked with was a knockoff).

Before that, I worked briefly as a day-laborer to pay the rent while I searched for a job where I could write while the sun was up.

Before that, I joined a startup nonprofit with global aspirations attached to a modest, regional presence. I spent much of my time there learning to develop content and plan learning events.

Before that, I studied sociology at Cal State San Bernardino and worked with teenagers at a smallish church, where (for me) every night was amateur night.

Before that...

a kitchen

a college bookstore

a fish market

a boat shop...

you know, the usual.

Along the way, I designed printed, web-based, live-event, and video content for business, institutional, and nonprofit clients. For half-a-decade, I edited a now-defunct-but-pretty-good-until-everybody-lost-their shirt-in-the-great-recession website called InsideWork, which was given to the pursuit of business spiritually engaged. And I wrote a bunch of books and other resources you can find at Amazon, NoiseTrade, and right here at the tiny company called me.

These days, alongside my work as the tiny company called me, I partner with Jim Henderson in the 3Practices and No Joke.
