About
I've spent 26 years watching good ideas meet reality. The ones that survive always have two things: someone with the conviction not to let go, and people connected enough to carry them forward. Lose either and the idea fades into something safer, smaller, forgettable. My work is making sure that doesn't happen: holding onto what matters, and building the connections that keep it alive.
