I like soccer, start-ups, investing, creating, and philosophy

‣

⚽

• Don't try to schedule meetings during Liverpool games.
• Or during lunch pick-up games.
• I'm a minority owner in One Knox SC.

👨🏾‍💻

• Time stands still for me when I’m doing deep work.
• Nothing beats year ones. Everyone can build a parachute when jumping off a cliff. Just find the right cliff.
• I increasingly believe a person + computer can take on the world.

💰

• I fell in love with finance when I learned that you can objectively measure any opinion through finance. It combines my passions in math and philosophy like no other.
• I learned how to invest during AIM at ND and was a Contributor to McKinsey’s Valuation.
• I believe an increasing share of value creation will be generated by talented individuals versus large corporations in this century.
• I believe in both the old world and the new world of finance. A borderless and prejudice-less economy is right, but free cash flow still matters.

‣

🎨

• I enjoy creating, changing, ideating, and building.
• Whether it's a site, a deck, or a book, I love a good story.
• The core of who I am is change. I have re-invented myself in the past, and I love growing.

‣

🌴

• I came with nothing, and I'll leave with nothing.
• So, I'm trying to develop great habits, find purpose, flourish in eudaimonia, and, most importantly, build lasting relationships.
• Other happiness islands: reading fiction, running, board games, 2000's Indie, and those warm moments with my family.

Things I believe

‣

Life

• When possible, get there by walking.
• Time is always accelerating: With every passing season, a year is always a greater percentage of what's left.
• Seek people who are different than you.
• Do not waste your time on jealousy, hatred, or 2010's Nicholas Cage movies.

‣

Vocation

• Do not confuse activity with progress.
• Do not prepare. Just begin.
• Get easily excited, but know magic happens with deep work.
• Do more of what you loved as a kid. That joy was pure.
• Anxiety is a liar.
