more about me

A long and meandering career? I followed my passion for working with talented and earnest people regardless of where they come from. Who they are and where they’re headed are far more important to me.

I’m a curious person with many interests. History, film, music, reading, writing, technology, business, food, wine, and football/soccer are things I love to pursue. They’ve also allowed me to connect with the kinds of people mentioned above.

Some of my favorites

Tech: anything that betters the human condition

Food: I’ll try anything

Wine: red, white, and bubbly

Film: from the ridiculous to the sublime

Place: Barcelona, Copenhagen, Istanbul, Berlin, London, and NY

Be different, trust your gut for people, and never be bored.

Aut inveniam viam aut faciam.
