Moving On: Let’s do something incredible together

The time for me to move on from Oven Bits and Dallas, TX has come. At the end of May, me and my family will be moving back to Kansas City.

I’m looking forward to the next big adventure, and have been inspired by the wealth of entrepreneurial activity in KC as of late.

One thing I’ve always loved about KC is how people are quick to serve each other. Kansas Citians are a helpful lot. Need a meal? Done. Need a car? You got it. Looking for an extra pair of hands to help you unload your moving truck? We’ll bring four extra pairs! Speaking of which… ;)

While working at Oven Bits, and relaunching instead, I was inspired by the intersection of technology and service. The idea that an app could help people so much drove me. And so, I want to explore that intersection deeper. Perhaps even beyond apps.

Lately I’ve been thinking, “The only thing that can serve people better than technology is people.” I don’t know if that is true, but I want to find out. I want to find out if we can create technology that better enables communities to serve each other.

What better place to explore this than Kansas City?

If you have ideas in this area, or are doing something along these lines, then let’s connect. Let’s do something incredible together.
