About

Updated

I am a father, husband, writer, and entrepreneur based in Northern California. I have been lucky enough to work at the intersection of art and technology alongside incredible people who reshaped how we do business, communicate, and enjoy art.

Throughout my career, I’ve optimized more for working with great people and solving interesting problems. I feel like I’ve had a lot of success in both areas.

As a still aspiring music writer trying to finally make use of my Bachelor of Communications in Journalism, I’m getting back to writing, following my curiosity, and learning new things.

What interests me

These are the areas where I am building and collecting knowledge. Links, videos and posts on these subjects are collected here:

  • AI - Bots, voice assistants, algorithms, and the future of intelligence (since 2016!)
  • Music - The artists, industry, and culture that shaped me
  • Entrepreneurship - Building, acquiring, and grinding through startups
  • Photography - Getting back behind the lens after years away
  • Culture - How platforms and people shape each other
