What I work on
Most of my work lives in a handful of small brands, each built around one thing I got curious about. A few projects sit outside the company because they belong to me, not to a business.
Better The World, LLC
I own Better The World, a Myrtle Beach company behind six service brands. I formed it in 2025 to bring the brands I have built since 2010 under one roof. Its mission is to help entrepreneurs #BetterTheWorld. Company site →

Firebolt
Fast, secure static WordPress hosting
Kevin Young started Firebolt in 2016 as a WordPress maintenance service. After years of cleaning up hacked sites and broken plugin updates, he switched to a simpler idea: turn a WordPress site into a fast, secure, pre-built copy, and manage everything for the client. Kevin runs every Firebolt account himself.

TradeKit
In developmentAI-native operating system for small business

These two are separate from Better The World. They are my own long-running curiosities about how places work.

Commonway System
A pattern language for roads and streets
Kevin Young writes and maintains the Commonway System, a pattern language for roads and streets. He is an enthusiast and compiler, not a transportation professional, so the work rests on its citations. Each claim is cited to a source, and any claim not yet sourced is flagged. Plain language comes first, with technical detail beneath.
