I am a headhunter that invests in early stage companies and occasionally trades services for equity. Most of my work is related to FoundersFund and 8VC. I have spent the last 15 years scaling and helping Palantir, Brex, JUUL, Skybox (Google) and GrabTaxi (Uber) dominate their markets. I'm a one man operation and split my time between a mountain home and San Fransisco. I make my own luggage, fly old planes and like to fish. I probably should have been born in the 1920s.

I hold, barely, a BA from Dartmouth (where I flunked my only CS class).

I do not support much of an online presence. In place of social media, I use Substack and my personal website to discuss things I’m working on or are interested in. It’s meant to be raw and unfiltered.

I am a pilot will regularly publish using aviation as an excuse to talk about mindfulness and the challenges associated with modern life.

I'm a pilot, writer and headhunter. I build the early teams of companies commonly associated with the so-called PayPal mafia. I'm the son of a professional smuggler and a Mormon school teacher.
