About
I’m a writer, coder, and entrepreneur. I’m passionate about:
- Technology – creating leverage through repeatable process
- Intelligence – the ability to create beauty and happiness via accurately perceiving and responding to reality
- Freedom – the state of being responsible for one’s actions; the mental, social, political and economic conditions that encourage said responsibility
- Words – I love them, I love writing, I love creating meaning.
I grew up in San Jose, CA, went to school in Boston, and am now based in New York, NY. I’m currently the founder of Bubble.
More about my background: LinkedIn. Keep up to date: Twitter.
