About Dominic
I’m Dominic Ferrara — 62, 30 years in IT, currently working remotely as a Senior IT Manager at a Fortune 500 company while boondocking full-time in an RV across Tennessee with my wife my wife.
I use AI every day — not as a novelty, but as a necessity. It helps me manage a rare eye condition (NAION), discover supplements my doctors never mentioned, plan the next chapter, track my investment portfolio, and keep two remote workers productive off-grid with a generator and Starlink.
I write about what I actually live — the messy intersection of technology, health, aging, and the open road. If you’re over 50 and curious about AI, or if you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to work full-time from an RV, you’re in the right place.
