Meet the Founder

I am 40 years old and work as an EMT in western Kentucky. Before EMS, I worked at a rock quarry. That was a different life — hard work, long days, not much thought about what was happening beyond my own lane.

The December 10, 2021 western Kentucky tornado outbreak changed that.

That night I was in a dark house with my wife, our eight kids, and my parents. We were trying to figure out what was happening around us — what had been hit, what was still coming, whether we were safe to move. Information was scattered, slow, and hard to trust. I did not have a clean picture of the situation. I had a family to protect and not enough clarity to act on.

I enrolled in EMT school in January 2022. EMS gave me structure, training, and a reason to pay closer attention to what breaks down during a crisis — communications, power, roads, weather, coordination. Over time that path led to preparedness work, then to building Outlier OS, and then to Fringe Watch.

Fringe Watch exists because that night taught me something simple: people need a clear view of what is happening, what is confirmed, and what is still unknown — without someone else deciding for them what to believe. That is what we are building.

If you are a responder, a radio operator, a parent trying to stay ready, or just someone who watches the horizon — this platform is for you.
