Welcome to Notes from Cole

Notes from Cole is my personal blog here on Substack. My posts are a way of exploring the world we live in, dealing with life’s challenges, and opening ourselves up to wonder and opportunity.

New notes are posted each week. They’re short. And hopefully inspiring.

Feel free to follow along. All posts are free.

About me

“Everything is possible for one who believes.” —Mark 9:23

Hello I’m Cole, a Christian living on the edge of Nevada’s Washoe Valley. Originally from the South, I earned a political science degree in 2009 and moved to Washington, D.C., where I worked for a nonprofit journalism organization.

Much has changed since then. I moved to the West Coast in 2015 and began rethinking my career. I followed a long-term passion for building websites and decided to become a freelancer. Since then, I’ve made some pivots in my work as my business needs changed, but I never strayed from my passion. The core of my business today involves managing Squarespace websites for clients.

When I’m not working, I’m usually burning through browser tabs, writing blog posts, reading, walking in the woods, or watching conspiracy documentaries. 🛸
