Projects

Main Quest

  • Perena

    You know stocks and T-bills. Turns out there's a whole menu — private credit, real-world assets, market-neutral strategies — that regular people just never get offered. Perena hands you the menu.

Side Quests

  • Stoneflower Climbing

    Purveyor of fine holds and good design for climbers.

  • Tattoary

    An AI tattoo designer — dream up a custom piece and see it on your own skin before you commit.

Thoughts

Alternate Defaults

The defaults I'd like to rewrite.

  1. Family is something we build, not just inherit.
  2. Education should begin with play and end with the discovery of meaning.
  3. Walls are meant to be climbed.
  4. Money is as free as information on the Internet.
  5. Tattoos become museum-grade art, collected over a lifetime.
  6. Loving more than one person isn't treated as a moral failure.
  7. Everyday objects deserve the same care as works of art.
  8. Every woman owns a great vibrator.

Love

A JD for My Future Partner(s)

An earnest job description for a serious relationship.

Huge green flags

I admire people who build things. I love people who have conviction, think independently, and are obsessed with mastering their craft.

That might mean founders, designers, artists, traders, researchers, climbers—or anyone who's become extraordinary at something through years of obsession.

You don't have to share my career. You should probably share my curiosity.

Lifestyle compatibility

My ideal vacation is…

  • sitting in front of rocks all day (climbing)
  • activity based: skiing, hiking, skydiving, etc.
  • exploring a new culture

You don't need to climb V10. But if your dream vacation is a week at an all-inclusive beach resort, we're probably optimizing for different things.

Multicultural and multilingual is a huge plus. I'd love a life that spans more than one country.

We'd probably get along if…

  • Kind.
  • Honest, especially when it's uncomfortable.
  • Curious about a lot of things.
  • Physically active.
  • Wants children.
  • Not actively religious.

Great to have

  • Deeply passionate about your craft.
  • Interested in investing, business, technology, or building things.
  • Climbs. (Mega bonus points if you climb harder than I do.)

Relationship philosophy

I value relationships built on trust, admiration, and choosing each other repeatedly.

I form and maintain deep, long-term friendships with people of all genders. I hope you do too.

I'm naturally polyamorous, but I care more about building an extraordinary family than about following any particular relationship model. If we choose monogamy, I'd want it to be because we're intentionally building that life together—not because it's simply the default.

We'll probably frustrate each other if…

  • You need to be the center of my social world.
  • Curiosity isn't part of your identity.
  • You'd rather stay comfortable than keep growing.
  • You see trust as something to be earned through restriction rather than openness.
