Hi, I'm Jarrod.

I run a lot of miles, build small tools that make my life run itself, and write about what I learn along the way.

Life Resume

The stuff a normal resume leaves out.

Endurance

  • Ran 3,000+ miles in the last twelve months
  • Laced up on 334 of the last 366 days
  • 16 marathons — Berlin, Chicago, and New York City among them — plus a 50K ultra
  • Chasing a run in all 50 states — 19 down (map below)

Things I've built

  • A personal AI assistant that lives in iMessage — I text myself, it texts back
  • This site — the running chart below updates itself from my watch

Work

  • Worked at Tesla — it opened my eyes to what technology makes possible in an agile business, and to inspirational leaders who move fast and break things

Education

  • Kent State University — B.B.A., Finance
  • The Ohio State University — MBA
  • Self-taught AI developer — the best classroom is shipping things

Places & adventures

  • Countries so far: United States, Mexico, Canada, Italy, Germany, Czech Republic, Austria, Hungary
