About
I’ve spent my life trying to outthink uncertainty, which led me to an unusual background: a philosophy degree, clinical training in somatic therapy, hospice bereavement work, and a two-year apprenticeship in an Amazonian healing tradition. Then, somehow, startup operating, venture investing, and work with founders on the psychology of building.
What I’ve learned is that the hardest problems aren’t strategic. They’re human. Ambitious projects often stall not because the model is wrong, but because something underneath it is — the founder’s relationship to the work, a team dynamic nobody’s naming, an unexamined assumption.
I’m most useful when someone needs to see what they can’t yet name. In practice: clarifying the heart of a project, articulating why it matters, helping you with the next right step, and making the introductions that move things forward.
