On Building

Creating something meaningful helps everyone. Just look at how the percentage of people living in extreme poverty worldwide fell from over 80% in 1800 to under 10% today. That's real proof of the power of growth and capitalism. Innovation is inherently philanthropic, and our hard work and dedication can make the pie even bigger for all.

Startups and small teams give you ownership and agency where you're responsible for every decision and outcome. You make the calls, own the risks, and live with the results. That accountability is rare, and it forces you to grow fast by being resourceful and creative. Startups are a path to real freedom: if you can create something society wants, you earn the ability to write your own future. No permission required. You can build, iterate, and make an outsized impact with nothing but an idea and relentless execution. We can shape the world around us more than we think is possible.

Technology is the amplifier. It gives us leverage and amplifies our ideas, skills, and efforts beyond what was ever possible before. Generative AI alone is one of the greatest productivity unlocks in history. It lets us talk to a compressed internet, distilling vast knowledge into useful insights in seconds. This is more than convenience; it's a paradigm shift in how we learn, create, and solve problems. My goal is to use this power not just to build wealth, but to build a better life—to teach, inspire, and empower others to harness it for more freedom, impact, and fulfillment.

Technology, capital, and creativity are tools that let us amplify our impact, but their highest purpose is to uplift humanity. When we build with abundance in mind, we expand possibilities for everyone as we forge a world of greater opportunity, joy, and connection.

On Connection

Consciousness is the rarest and most beautiful phenomenon in the universe. It is divine creation, a spark of light in the vast unknown. To be alive, to think, to love, and to build is an incredible gift, and we should honor it by lifting each other up, expanding opportunity, and ensuring this light continues to shine for generations to come. (Have kids!)

Life is short and should be filled with love, creation, and connection. My mission is to build, to share, and to uplift those around me. Because a world full of optimism, joy, and collaboration is the world worth fighting for. ❤️

I'm rooted in New Hampshire and active in the Boston startup ecosystem. I'm looking to partner with dreamers, builders, and believers who share a passion for making the world better. Let's fund the future, create opportunities, and empower each other to scale our impact. If something here sparks your interest, reach out. I'm really glad you're here.

On Sound Money

We live in an era of unprecedented technological prosperity, yet most people feel like they're falling behind, working harder only to watch their savings slip away. The culprit is monetary debasement. Government overspending acts as a hidden tax that silently destroys the purchasing power of our work, making it one of the biggest structural problems of our time (inflation).

I believe Bitcoin is the best store of value we have—money fully separated from the state. While gold served this role historically, securing it at scale inevitably requires relying on banks and intermediaries. Bitcoin solves this through self-custody, giving anyone the power to hold their wealth independently, without relying on the state or banking systems. It allows us to preserve our economic energy across time and borders, fully separated from monetary debasement.

Ultimately, true abundance isn't about money: it's about freedom and time. Financial sovereignty gives you the options and resources to chase your ambitions on your own terms.
