Interests.
Beyond the resume.
I'm a founder and analyst by day. The rest of the time I'm either on a wall, a court, a trail, or a board. These aren't just hobbies — they're how I think.
Rock Climbing
Bouldering and sport routes. There's something about solving a problem 20 feet off the ground that makes everything else feel simple. I started indoors and took it outside — nothing beats a good outdoor project.
Basketball
Pickup games wherever I can find a court. I grew up playing and it never left. It's one of the few things that fully turns off the analytical part of my brain — just pure read-and-react.
Board Games & Strategy
Chess, Catan, Wingspan, Ticket to Ride — anything with depth and a good opponent. I think strategy games are one of the best ways to understand how people make decisions under pressure.
Backpacking
Disappearing into the mountains for a few days resets everything. No phone, no noise. I try to get out a few times a year — some of my best ideas have come from long trails.
