I’m obsessed with compounding across a lifetime, everyday competence, and making things both physical and digital.

I’ve been writing and working on startups since 2007.

Lately

A Bernini marble group in the Borghese, Rome The Faraglioni rocks off Capri A stone alley opening onto a bell tower on the Dalmatian coast A farmers market produce haul spread across the kitchen table A painted ceiling fresco in Rome Sunset from the deck of a sailboat Lemon slices drying on an oven rack A pink cactus flower in bloom The San Francisco skyline at night Street food served on a banana leaf A Japanese garden and pond Champagne and caviar on a wooden table A basque cheesecake on a wooden board Hot air balloons lit against a night sky Vegetables arranged on a table Cookies cooling on a wire rack A mountain valley at sunset

Where things are

The site is in three parts, and they are sorted by what the thing is for rather than by what it is about.

building Companies, and the people I help build them. This is the part of my life with customers in it. groupthink · coaching
compounding A life is made out of days, and most days are made out of the same handful of things. These are the ones I do over and over. cooking · protocols
experiencing Places, animals, and things I am glad I did. None of this compounds and none of it needs to. travel · dogs
advising Marketing teams at software companies. Lately Laravel and Workato.
writing Runs across all three. Startups, investing, tech, food, and whatever else I am working out in public.
