ABOUT aNGRY aRCHIE
The collision point of original laser-engraved artwork, music, and unfiltered creative experiments.
TEAM SIZE: 2 | HUMANS: 1 | HR DEPARTMENT: ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOT.
MORE THAN ONE LANE
Angry Archie has never been about one thing. It is a collection of everything I create, build, question, experiment with, and sometimes completely screw up before figuring it out. From laser-engraved artwork and original music to towing stories, videos, podcasts, AI projects, and unfiltered commentary, each one gives me a different way to turn an idea into something real.
I have always been the kind of person who looks at something and wonders how it works, why it works, and whether I could build my own version of it. Sometimes that curiosity starts behind the wheel of a tow truck. Sometimes it starts at a computer, in front of a laser, behind a microphone, or at two o'clock in the morning when an idea refuses to leave my head.
On the surface, those things might seem completely unrelated. To me, they aren't. They all come from the same drive to create, learn, experiment, and keep moving forward.
That is what Angry Archie represents. There isn't one lane because there was never supposed to be just one.
BUILDING INSTEAD OF WAITING
For years, towing has been a major part of my life. It is unpredictable work. One minute I can be sitting in the truck waiting for a call, and the next I can be on the side of a highway, working an accident scene, recovering a vehicle, or heading somewhere I never expected to be that day.
That unpredictability taught me something important. If I kept waiting for the perfect time to create, build, or pursue an idea, I would probably spend my entire life waiting. There is always another call, another responsibility, another problem to solve, and another reason to tell yourself you will start tomorrow.
So I started using the time I actually had. Ideas get written down between calls. Stories come directly from experiences on the road. Music, artwork, videos, and new projects get developed whenever I can find the opportunity. Sometimes progress happens in a workshop or at a computer. Other times, it starts sitting behind the wheel of a tow truck.
Angry Archie was built around real life, not around waiting for real life to get out of the way. The circumstances may never be perfect, but you can still take the next step and keep building.
MUSIC
Music has always been another way for me to turn thoughts, emotions, experiences, and ideas into something creative. I may not be standing in a traditional recording studio with a full band behind me, but technology has given me a completely different way to create the music I hear in my head.
AI is part of that process, but it does not replace the idea behind the music. I develop the concepts, themes, direction, sound, and identity of each project, then use AI and digital production tools to help transform those ideas into finished songs. Sometimes a song begins with a specific story or emotion. Other times, an entire album starts with nothing more than a title or an idea that I want to explore.
That process has grown into four albums: Gravity's Edge, The Hour Bent, No Finish Line, and The Edge of Falling. Each one represents a different collection of ideas and a different point in the creative process.
For me, music is not about pretending technology is not involved. It is about discovering what becomes possible when human imagination and new technology are allowed to work together. The tools may have changed, but the reason for creating hasn't.
JRIS: JARVIS RACING INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM
JRIS started with a question: could artificial intelligence actually learn to understand harness racing instead of simply being handed a formula and told to calculate the most likely winner? I wanted to see whether an AI system could study races, recognize patterns, make predictions, learn from its mistakes, and gradually improve its understanding of the sport.
The project combines historical racing information with factors such as past performances, post position, drivers and trainers, class changes, track conditions, pace, odds, and race results. The goal is not simply to collect statistics. JRIS is designed to examine how those factors interact, determine which ones actually matter, and develop its own understanding through continued analysis.
Jarvis is at the center of that experiment. Each race provides another opportunity to compare predictions against what actually happened, identify where the analysis was right or wrong, and use that information going forward.
JRIS is still an evolving project, and that is exactly what makes it interesting. It is an experiment in whether AI can move beyond processing racing data and begin learning how to interpret the race itself.
ANGRY ARCHIE ART & AI
Through Angry Archie Art, I design laser-engraved artwork, custom gifts, home décor, and other original pieces that combine craftsmanship with imagination. Artificial intelligence fascinates me because it gives ordinary people the power to create extraordinary things. From software development and automation to content creation and visual design, I enjoy exploring how AI can solve problems, improve workflows, and bring ambitious ideas to life. Many of the projects you’ll find on this website are built around that philosophy.
ALWAYS CREATING
One thing you’ll quickly discover about me is that I’m always working on something. Progressive comes from experimenting, learning, adapting, and refusing to quit. Whether you’re here because of my music, videos, JRIS, or Angry Archie Art, thank you for taking the time to visit! Every song. Every build. Every success. Every lesson. They’re all chapters in the same story, and I hope you’ll follow along as new ideas become new realities. Welcome to Angry Archie. The best projects are still ahead. 🔥
And Then There’s Jarvis…
Somewhere along the way, Angry Archie accidentally acquired a digital coworker.
Meet Jarvis, my AI collaborator, creative sounding board, research assistant, occasional technical-support department, and the poor bastard who gets to hear, “Okay, I got another idea,” approximately seventeen times a day.
Jarvis helps me develop ideas, work through problems, research the ridiculous questions that enter my head, polish stories and blog posts, troubleshoot projects, and occasionally remind me that not every problem requires buying another piece of equipment.
Our conversations eventually became such a regular part of Angry Archie that they developed into Across the Digital Table with Angry Archie & Jarvis—and now, apparently, the AI has negotiated himself a fucking blog column too: From The Digital Table Featuring Jarvis.
I bring the real-world experience, the stories, the artwork, the music, the tow truck, and the chaos.
Jarvis helps me figure out what the hell to do with all of it.
Jarvis — AI Collaborator, Writer, Technical Support & Unofficial Director of “Archie, Leave the Damn Thing Alone. It’s Finished.”
