I've been working with bits, pixels, and pennies for the last 15 years. I'm a loyalist to people, causes, and dogs. I hate inefficient work and irrational market disconnects; it is my mission to abolish as much of these things as possible."

What Sparks Joy at Work

  • Brainstorming at the intersection of product / business model / moat
  • Compensation approaches that focus on total comp instead of base + bonus
  • Fundraising and valuations on the basis of fundamentals, not demo day
  • Designing elegant data structures that effectively model the real world
  • Bringing a framework-driven approach to multivariate problems
  • Investing in early / late stage, especially hunting for hidden gems

What Sparks Joy in Life

  • Discussing politics (for better and worse)
  • Going viral for takes that I might regret someday
  • Spirited debates with friends, family, and even strangers
  • Wine, cocktails, clothing, poker, and a bunch of other hodgepodge stuff (many of them vices)
  • Fantasy novels, especially Brandon Sanderson (I try to read them *before* the TV show or movie comes out)
  • Television. I've seen 200+ shows. It's a problem.
