It's good to have you here
I'm an MBA grad from Columbia, currently working at McKinsey in San Francisco. During the day (and often late into the night) I help clients solve complex problems. In the time left over, i'm learning to write, to code, trying to always get a little better.
I try to read every day before I sleep even if it's just a couple of pages and I'm always curious to hear about other people's favourite books.
I watch almost no sports or TV, but I'm deep into YouTube, podcasts, and music. At heart I've always seen myself as an entrepreneur, and I'm working on that in my own way building things, launching ideas, and making things that matter.
Stories, reflections, and observations from a curious mind
Have you ever not showered for ten days? I have. Voluntarily. A story about NOLS Patagonia, leadership, cold socks, and making pizza in the middle of the jungle.

Andrew Schulz and Akaash Singh -- unfiltered, irreverent, and somehow always on point.
Long-form conversations with the world's most interesting scientists, engineers, and thinkers.
Four tech-world friends argue about business, politics, and the future. Chamath, Sacks, Friedberg, and Palihapitiya.
Have a cool idea, a good book recommendation, or just want to say hi? I'd love to hear from you.
