Event production, wearable hardware, conversational AI, four podcasts, a community, and a statewide radio mesh that works when the network doesn't. Everything below is something I built, ran, or still run.

In January 2023 I stepped down as CEO; it runs without me. Details ## Endless Events Company Founder & CEO2007 – 2023 Sixteen years, one company. Endless Events grew from a teenager with speakers in a car into one of the most recognizable names in the events industry, producing events nationally with technology at the center rather than bolted on. In January 2023 I hired my replacement and stepped down — the clearest signal that the business was never dependent on me. Founded 2007, at age 17 Tenure 16 years as CEO Exit Stepped down January 2023 [Visit Endless Events](https://www.helloendless.com) Company2020 – present #EventProfs Community Founder I built #EventProfs as a case study in turning an event into a private community, technology stack included. It is where event and marketing professionals talk between the events. Details ## #EventProfs Community Company Founder2020 – present I believe community is the future of events, and of marketing. Most event and marketing professionals could not see how an event becomes a community, so I built #EventProfs to show the whole thing in public — the programming, the moderation and every piece of technology holding it together. Thesis An event is the start of a community, not the end Built Programming, moderation, full tech stack [Visit #EventProfs](https://www.eventprofscommunity.com) Media2015 – present #EventIcons Creator & host A weekly video talk show I created interviewing the icons of the events industry.

The state mesh is past 1,100 nodes, and I build private meshes for events on the same hardware. Details ## Arizona Meshtastic Open source Builder & organizerCurrent Meshtastic is a free, open-source mesh network: small, affordable radios that send text messages and share location off-grid, with no monthly fees and no license required. Arizona’s mesh is now past 1,100 nodes and still growing node by node; azmsh.net is where a newcomer picks hardware, gets settings right, joins a channel and hosts a node of their own. I build and maintain that site, help people get on the mesh, and stand up private mesh networks for events where cell coverage cannot be trusted. Network 1,100+ nodes across Arizona Events Private meshes built for live events Stack Meshtastic firmware, MkDocs site, live node stats Role Site build, docs, onboarding, node hosting Repo azmsh.net [Visit azmsh.net](https://azmsh.net) Open sourceCurrent Garden Godmother Creator A self-hosted garden management app built on Next.js, FastAPI and SQLite. Runs on your own hardware, so the garden data stays yours. Details ## Garden Godmother Open source CreatorCurrent Self-hosted garden management: what is planted, when it went in, what needs doing next. Next.js front end, FastAPI service, SQLite for storage — small enough to run on a box at home and never phone anywhere. Stack Next.js, FastAPI, SQLite Language Python Repo rancur/garden-godmother [View on GitHub](https://github.com/rancur/garden-godmother) Open sourceCurrent Tempest Mesh Weather Creator Auto-broadcasts Tempest WeatherFlow conditions and severe-weather alerts to a Meshtastic mesh via MeshMonitor. Local weather keeps moving when the internet does not. Details ## Tempest Mesh Weather Open source CreatorCurrent A bridge between a Tempest WeatherFlow station and a Meshtastic mesh: current conditions and severe-weather alerts are pushed to the network through MeshMonitor on a schedule. The point is redundancy — the mesh keeps carrying weather when cell and internet are down, which is when it matters. Language Python Talks to Tempest WeatherFlow, MeshMonitor Repo rancur/tempest-meshtastic-weather [View on GitHub](https://github.com/rancur/tempest-meshtastic-weather) Open sourceCurrent Morning Dad Joke Creator A daily dad joke broadcast to a Meshtastic mesh via MeshMonitor. It gives the network a reason to say good morning. Details ## Morning Dad Joke Open source CreatorCurrent Every morning, one dad joke goes out over the mesh through MeshMonitor. It started as a way to keep a heartbeat on the network and turned into the thing people check for.

It builds loops that land on the beat instead of near it. Details ## Resolume Beat Sync Open source CreatorCurrent A generator for Resolume Arena that produces visual loops locked to the beat, so a set can be built without hand-cutting every clip. Written in Python and aimed at the practical problem of having enough usable material on the night. Language Python For Resolume Arena Repo rancur/resolume-sync-visuals [View on GitHub](https://github.com/rancur/resolume-sync-visuals) Open sourceCurrent WaxFlow Creator Self-hosted DJ library sync for Lexicon DJ: all your music, flowing home. One library, every machine, no cloud subscription. Details ## WaxFlow Open source CreatorCurrent WaxFlow keeps a DJ library in sync across machines by running the sync yourself instead of renting it. Built around Lexicon DJ, in Python, for the case where the collection is large and the internet at the venue is not to be trusted. Language Python Works with Lexicon DJ Repo rancur/waxflow [View on GitHub](https://github.com/rancur/waxflow) EventsRecap video Warner Bros. Live event Hollywood scale, on a load-in clock.

Details ## Buzz Open source CreatorCurrent A trivia game that lives on the mesh itself. Questions are broadcast through MeshMonitor and answered with tapbacks, so playing needs nothing but the radio you already carry. It keeps a leaderboard and guards against grinding, which matters when the whole network can see every answer. Language Python Plays over MeshMonitor Questions 232+ Repo rancur/meshtastic-quiz [View on GitHub](https://github.com/rancur/meshtastic-quiz) Open sourceCurrent Rivian for TRMNL Creator A TRMNL e-ink plugin that puts a Rivian's state of charge, range, cabin temperature and open-panel status on a desk dashboard. Data comes via Home Assistant, so nothing but your own hardware ever talks to Rivian. Details ## Rivian for TRMNL Open source CreatorCurrent The screen is deliberately quiet: when everything is fine the check row is a line of ticks and the vehicle diagram is all outline. Leave a window down and the affected panels fill solid. And when the data stops arriving it says so plainly — which is the entire reason the plugin is built this way rather than showing a stale number.

I contribute to it, and it is the piece my own mesh broadcasts run through. Details ## MeshMonitor Open source ContributorCurrent MeshMonitor gives a Meshtastic deployment a real dashboard — nodes, traffic and health over TCP/HTTP rather than squinting at a phone app. It is also the backbone for the things I build on top of the mesh, from the weather bridge to the morning dad joke to the trivia game.

Details ## Meshtastic for Apple Open source ContributorCurrent The Apple client family for Meshtastic, and the on-ramp for nearly everyone I help join the Arizona mesh. Getting a newcomer from an unboxed radio to a working node almost always runs through this app, which is why I contribute fixes back to it. Language Swift Platforms iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, visionOS Role Contributor Repo meshtastic/Meshtastic-Apple [View on GitHub](https://github.com/meshtastic/Meshtastic-Apple) Open sourceCurrent FranklinWH for Home Assistant Contributor A Home Assistant integration for FranklinWH energy storage — how the battery at my house reports into the rest of the smart home, and a project I contribute to. Details ## FranklinWH for Home Assistant Open source ContributorCurrent FranklinWH storage does not talk to Home Assistant on its own. This integration bridges it, so battery state, load and solar land alongside everything else rather than sitting in a separate app. I run it at home and contribute back to it. Language Python For Home Assistant Role Contributor Repo airlust/ha-franklinwh [View on GitHub](https://github.com/airlust/ha-franklinwh) Open sourceCurrent Electric Forest Mesh Creator & maintainer An unofficial community guide to using Meshtastic at Electric Forest — how to find your squad on a festival site with no usable cell service. Details ## Electric Forest Mesh Open source Creator & maintainerCurrent Electric Forest puts tens of thousands of people in a field where the cell network folds by Friday. efmesh.com is the guide for getting a crew onto a LoRa mesh instead: what hardware to buy, how to configure it, which channel to join, and how to actually find each other once the phones stop working. It is the clearest example of the two halves of what I do meeting in one place — festival and radio.

Details ## EF Mesh Ambassador Firmware Open source ContributorCurrent The hardest part of getting a festival crowd onto a mesh is configuration: channels, region, hop limits, power settings. This firmware ships those decisions already made, so an ambassador can hand someone a radio that simply works on the Electric Forest mesh the moment it powers on.

Drop a recorded set into a watch folder and it analyses the audio, builds the tracklist, generates cover art and descriptions, uploads to SoundCloud and YouTube, then verifies each upload. Details ## Fade Out Open source CreatorCurrent The gap between finishing a set and having it published is an hour of tedious work: pulling the tracklist, writing a description, making artwork, uploading twice, checking both landed. Fade Out closes that gap to zero. It watches a folder on the NAS, reads the audio for duration, BPM and key, parses the cue sheet or infers the tracklist, generates the metadata and branded thumbnails, pushes to both platforms and pings Discord when it is done. Built as a single-user self-hosted tool for a trusted home network — FastAPI behind a React front end, shipped as a Docker image.
