I’ve always been obsessed with systems.

Not just software systems.

Business systems. Human systems. Operational systems. Learning systems.

I like understanding how things work underneath the surface.

Today I build products, workflows, automations, and operational tools.

01

I thought I was going to spend my life in science.

I studied biochemistry because I loved understanding how complex systems behaved.

There was something addictive about patterns, structure, constraints, and problem solving.

Eventually I realized I wanted a life spent building, solving, and shipping.

02

My career started with a reporting tool and a spreadsheet.

My dad spent his life building businesses. I saw that up close.

Growing up around that environment changed how I saw work.

I started freelancing, then consulting, then building products.

The specific tools matter less than the ability to learn quickly and adapt.

03

How I work.

Learn Fast

I care less about credentials and more about adaptability.

Own the Outcome

I naturally operate end-to-end. Strategy means very little without execution.

Build Real Things

I learn best by shipping, testing, and refining in the real world.

Stay Curious

Whether it's AI systems, marketplaces, or hiking trails, curiosity drives almost everything I do.

04

Outside of work, I try to stay close to the real world.

I love hiking. I love Colorado. My wife and I are moving there soon.

Some of my favorite moments are disconnected from screens.

Real life slows you down enough to notice what actually matters.

05

Most people are far more adaptable than they think.

I’ve changed directions multiple times in my life.

Science.

Consulting.

Product.

Automation.

AI systems.

None of it happened because I had a perfect plan.

I just kept learning, adapting, and moving forward.

Most things are not as complicated as they first appear.

The people who move fastest are usually the ones willing to figure things out themselves.
