What I’m doing now

This is a Now Page, as popularized by Derek Sivers. The goal is to let you know what I’m focused on right now in my life. I intend on updating this roughly monthly.

Being a Parent

If you haven’t heard my wife and I welcomed our first child in the fall of 2024! It’s been an exceptionally love-filled and sleep-depleted year. I couldn’t be happier. Our daughter is just starting to figure out walking, talking and getting dropped off a day care without bursting into tears. I’m intentionally keeping things a bit obscure here to let my daughter chose how much of her life goes on the internet when she’s old enough to do so.

Helping MistyWest continue to grow

FY 2025 (ends Sep’25) was MistyWest’s best year every in terms of successful client outcomes, revenue and profitability. These three measures are of course highly correlated. Our largest ever program came to a close in May 2025 and the last few months have been an all out sprint to replace this revenue stream, it looks like we’ve pulled it off, setting us up for a strong FY 2026

Further Improving my understanding of Venture Capital

Following a year of deepening my understanding of Venture Capital through books, podcasts, and conversations with every VC who would talk to me. I've taken on a 5-week fellowship with the deeptech pre-seed firm Humba Ventures. The learnings have been exceptional being on the inside of 20+ pitch calls and seeing the way an absolute master like Leo thinks and operates.

Learning how to ADHD

I finally received a diagnosis which should shock exactly 0% of people who are both familiar with ADHD and know me in a personal context. I have ADHD. In a work setting I’ve always been able to overcome my ADHD through a combination of building systems to guardrail my attention, mindfulness training, writing absolutely everything down and continuously working overtime. The arrival of my daughter meant that pulling all nighters for work was no longer an option as she has those hours pre-booked. How to ADHD was and incrediblly helpful book for me and I’m now testing out if stimulant medication will help as well.
