About

I started in operations, working from the front desk of my father's medical practice and eventually helping manage a much larger organization. Operating problems led me first to data, then software; leaving the family business in 2020 led me into full-time investing and real estate.

This site is an ongoing record of the businesses, investments, software, buildings, and collaborations that came out of that path.
