About

I live in Austin, TX with my wife Natalie and our son Miles.

Work

I run support and operations at Mindbloom, a psychedelic therapy company expanding access to at-home ketamine treatment. I got into this work because ketamine therapy genuinely changed my life, and I wanted to help bring it to more people.

Before that I was at Wheel, a clinician marketplace for virtual care, building systems for on-demand care delivery. And before that, Lunchdrop, where a Craigslist gig turned into my first real job. I went from driving lunches to launching cities and running a daily operation with hundreds of deliveries.

All three are the same puzzle at different scales: people on one side who need something, people on the other who can provide it, and the messy, rewarding work of building systems that connect them well. I've spent about a decade on this and still love it.

Community

I used to be a terrified introvert. In college I forced myself to talk to people because I was constantly lonely. Over time I discovered something: my natural gravity pulls me toward the couch, but I'm most fulfilled when I'm around others. That tension has shaped a lot of how I live.

I think a lot about the friend recession, rising individualism, and what it actually means to belong somewhere.

Most of your life is lived within 20 miles of home. So I try to invest there. I say hi to strangers, make an effort to know my literal neighbors, keep up with old friends over the phone, host dinner parties and casual backyard hangs, and attend regular events around town to stay connected to a wide circle. I'm not always great at it, but I make a conscious effort.

In 2025 I went through the Neighborhood Village Project accelerator, which focuses on hyper-local community building. I knocked on a hundred doors in my neighborhood, hosted multiple events, and watched neighbors meet each other for the first time. That's spun into a dad group chat that's become one of my favorite things.

Interests

I play volleyball year-round and take it more seriously than I probably should. I read a lot (fiction and non-fiction in roughly equal measure). Lately I've been building small apps for fun: a Goodreads analyzer that roasts your reading habits and a spending guessing game that's harder than you'd think.

This Site

I'm trying to create more and consume less. This site is part of that. If you're here and reading this, drop me a line!
