The Chamber

The Senate of the Mind

The Senate is not a place — it's a system of thought. Every pursuit, every passion, every discipline holds a seat. Together they govern, deliberate, and build.

01 — Senator
Music
Music
Senator of Sound

Playing drums, hunting records, standing in the crowd. Rhythm isn't just sound — it's a system. This senator sets the tempo for everything else.

02 — Senator
Detroit
Detroit
Senator of the D

Wings. Lions. Tigers. Pistons. Detroit sports aren't just teams — they're identity. This senator votes for loyalty, grit, and patience. Always.

03 — Senator
Counter-Strike
Counter‑Strike
Senator of the Clutch

Economy management, map control, holding a corner alone with one bullet left. What CS teaches about composure under pressure carries into every high-stakes room.

04 — Senator
Vintage
Vintage
Senator of the Archive

Culture compressed into fabric. A 1994 Wings Starter jacket isn't just clothing — it's a primary source. This senator collects, curates, and understands that style is memory made wearable.

05 — Senator
Star Wars
Star Wars
Senator of the Saga

The mythology that lives rent-free, permanently. The Force, the moral weight of the Dark Side, the quiet Jedi who acts when it counts. Still in session.

06 — Senator
AI
AI
Senator of the Future

The thing that changes everything — again. AI isn't just a tool; it's the new operating environment. This senator watches closely, experiments constantly, and keeps the chamber ahead of the curve.

About
The Senate isn't a metaphor. It's how I actually run.

I'm Grant — a Solution Architect who bleeds Detroit sports, treats music like medicine, and hunts vintage sportswear like it's a second career. I also collect Star Wars Lego, run Counter-Strike like it's a job interview, and can't stop thinking about what AI is about to break next. The Senate is what happens when you stop apologizing for the range.

Professionally, I specialize in critical services — healthcare systems where the stakes are real and complexity doesn't forgive shortcuts. I work client-facing and in the weeds. I push back when something doesn't add up, and make it happen when it does.
