Hi, I’m Joe

Before moving to Boulder, Colorado in 2020, I lived and worked remotely in a van with my wife Ashleigh for over two years.

We left our home in the Northeast on our fourth wedding anniversary in May 2018 to embark on the adventure of a lifetime: to travel the US West in our Sprinter RV, chronicling it at Namago.co.

Day to day

For more than 20 years, my full time livelihood has been Apple technology consulting. I’ve owned and run PsiMac since 2004, and previously served on an Advisory Council for Apple ACN.

Side projects

In 2013, I founded Command Control Power, an Apple consulting podcast which I’ve co-hosted with two colleagues and friends, Sam and Jerry – for over 600 episodes!

After my first Burning Man in 2014 I co-founded another podcast, called Entheogen, with two good friends, Kevin and Brad.

I go by Joe “Zap” because it rhymes with my family name and has many fewer syllables. Credit to my friend the visionary artist Alex Grey for coining the name as he describes the way I “zap” technology back to health.
