My name is Jay White and I am nothing more than a 33 year old family man from Chicago. I started Dumb Little Man one night after realizing that my time had seemingly vanished after the birth of our second child. Well, that's what I use as the milestone that led me to believe that I had to become more efficient, more health conscious, and more creative if I had any real desire to satisfy all of the moving portions of my life.

Like most of you, I have a job that has its positives and negatives. I also have the typical pains that the average person has: raising a family, housing costs, stress at work, etc. However, instead of dwelling on the negatives, I choose to correct them. The difference between me and the many people I meet is that I have a passion (nearing addiction) for finding a better a way to live each day. This could be by finding a new website that automates a common task or it could be by psychoanalyzing my behavior.

I don't believe there is a master of everything nor do I claim to be one. However, I do enjoy sharing efficiencies, the pitfalls to watch for, and the lessons learned. In short, that's what this blog is about, learning to make life simpler.

If you'd like to get in touch, please do so here. Feel free to send me topics you'd like to see covered, questions you have, gripes, etc. I'll gladly answer as many as my time permits. If you want to submit an article in hopes of helping other readers, that's great too.

Warm Regards,

Jay White

By the way, I also started another blog named Diethack. It's written by a med student and shares practical ways for you to fine tune your diet and health. I can see starting other blogs in the near future. If you are interested in blogging and want to join my team, let me know.
