About Me

I started Skillshare and Otis (acquired by Public). Prior to starting companies, I was an early employee at Behance (acquired by Adobe) and Hot Potato (acquired by Facebook).
I occasionally angel invest in companies like Notion, 88Rising, and Polkadot.
I write on Twitter and my newsletter. Here are my most popular tweets.
My interests: eating burgers, improving my golf swing, and watching UFC fights.

What I'm Doing Now

After working in tech startups for over 15 years, I'm taking a break. I'm on a sabbatical and focused on my family, having fun, and improving my health.
I spend most of my days reading and writing. I plan on publishing content about living a fulfilling life, PHCs, and the creative process.
After my break, I’m building a personal holding company (PHC) where I incubate, invest, and buy companies. Investing my own capital. No outside LPs. Working with a small team.
Experimenting with asynchronous tutoring. Hiring experts who can level up my skills in photography, video editing, writing, cooking, etc. I'll learn on my own and send questions when I get stuck. HMU if you're an expert.
