The person
ABOUT.
I'm Chris. I lift heavy things, chase little white balls into the woods, drink bourbon neat, and lose modest sums of money at poker and options with roughly equal enthusiasm. This is my corner of the internet. There is no pitch.
I live in Charleston, South Carolina with a French Bulldog who runs the household. I build things for a living, but that is a different website. This one is about everything else.

Chapter one
GOLF.
Handicap index · 2026-07-20
I chase little white balls into the woods most weekends. The number above is real and it is pulled live, which the internet did not need to know.
GHIN says so. It updates weekly whether I want it to or not.
Drag back from the ball. Let go. Regret.
Chapter two
IRON.
lb on the bar
Competitive powerlifting background. Actual meets, actual singlet, actual judges telling me no. These days I lift because it is cheaper than therapy and heavier.
- Squat
- 440lb
- Bench
- 374lb
- Deadlift
- 587lb
Best meet: 1401 total. It did not feel light.
Tap plates to load the bar. Tap them again to strip it.
45 pounds on the bar
Chapter three
BOURBON.
The pour is two fingers.
Michter's 10, if we are celebrating.
Neat, obviously.
Kidding about the ice.
Never ice.
- rye spice
- oak
- dark cherry
- regret is not a note
Yes, the good bottle is technically a rye. Do not email me. There is no email.
Chapter four
CARDS.
PLO, cash and tournaments. Four cards, twice the outs, half the discipline. This demo deals five because you learned poker from movies and I respect that.
Chapter five
MARKETS.
The portfolio, emotionally. Not financial advice. Barely financial anything.
Bought the top. Conviction.
Earnings play. It did not earn.
Sold the bottom. Professional.
Theta is undefeated.
Averaged down. Twice.
Back to even. A miracle.
Up roughly nothing. Entertained the whole way.
The main event
LULU.
The best thing on this page.
It is not close.
Click her. She is friendly.
Writing
NEAT.
Words, occasionally. Like the pour: no ice, no filler.
