Built together — with curiosity as our compass.
Three curious people. One shared mission — to create, learn, and build things worth building.
Cole spent years in emergency medicine watching people struggle with problems that rarely started in the emergency room. That experience pushed him toward a bigger question: how do we build tools that help people notice patterns earlier, make better decisions, and live with more intention? Now he builds at the intersection of behavior, health, and everyday life — including launching Steadi, a menopause support brand, and developing tools like Sazio. Dad. Entrepreneur. Recovering overthinker.

Weston is building games that are actually fun to play — and running a YouTube channel where he makes science, math, art, and language click for curious learners. Part developer, part educator, full-time creative. He's just getting started.

Michelle is building the medical education tools she wished existed when she started. Part clinician, part designer — creating resources that make complex learning feel human and achievable.
See Michelle's Tools →I spent years in emergency medicine watching the downstream effects of problems that started long before anyone called for help — in behavior, in habits, in the quiet systems that shape how people live. That experience pushed me to build things further upstream.
Now I build at the intersection of behavior, health, and everyday life. Each project comes from the same belief: that people do better when they can see the pattern, understand the signal, and respond before things feel out of control.
Track the signal, not the food.
Sazio is a food noise tracker built to help people notice the mental chatter, cravings, and situational patterns that influence eating before they feel inevitable.
It is not a calorie counter. It is not a guilt machine. It is a tool for awareness. By helping users identify when food noise shows up, what may be driving it, and how often they interrupt the pattern, Sazio aims to make behavior change feel a little less mysterious and a lot more workable.

In DevelopmentTools that help people notice what's already happening in their lives — before the pattern becomes a problem.
Concept StageHonest conversations about building, behavior change, and the messy process of turning good ideas into real things.
Coming SoonNew apps, experiments, and tools are always in the works. This space grows as ideas ship.
Future
Daily menopause support, built around biology over willpower.
Steadi is a consumer health brand I co-founded for women navigating perimenopause and menopause. It reflects a lot of what drives my work: looking underneath the symptom, respecting biology, and building practical tools that help people feel more steady in their own lives.

Future
After years in environments that slowly drained the joy from work, we made a decision — not to quit and figure it out later, but to build the alternative while we still could. Leaving wasn't the end. It was the beginning.
We tell our kids to pursue meaningful work. To follow curiosity. To not settle. But children don't hear what you say — they watch what you do. This is us doing it.
There's something that happens when you stop watching things and start making them. You get better at thinking. You get better at failing. You get better at trying again. We build because building changes you.
Creating something isn't just about money. It's about proving to yourself that you can bring something from nothing — that your ideas have value, that your work matters, and that you don't have to fit someone else's mold to succeed.
"If you want your children to pursue meaningful work,
you have to be willing to pursue it yourself."
We made a deal. If our apps, games, and projects collectively hit $30,000 in revenue,
the whole family goes to Japan. The twist? We each picked Japan independently.
The destination chose us.
We each independently chose Japan as our dream destination. The universe wasn't subtle about it. We're listening.
$30,000 in combined revenue from apps, games, tools, and creative projects. No shortcuts. Just shipping things people love.
This trip is proof that creativity and entrepreneurship can pay for the life you actually want — not just the one you settled for.
