My phone reminds me daily that life is short and I could die tomorrow. This drives everything I do. The harder and more outlandish an idea sounds, the more it appeals to me. I've been a streetwear reseller, spent 10,000 hours mastering four instruments, became a self-taught futures trader, dove <40m with sharks, and yes, chased a cheese wheel down a cliff. Each failure built resilience and bred a hunger to go again.

Early in my career as an audio engineer, I spent every night in music production forums until 4 am, learning to build quickly, network effectively, and be deeply technical. These communities were full of ambitious night owls across the globe, all chasing the dream of making something spectacular. It was all-consuming. Years later, as an operator building decentralised applications in the wild west of crypto, things felt remarkably similar, just crazier. These relentless ups and downs, combined with a deep entrepreneurial spirit, led me to VC. It's the best job in the world: working alongside exceptional people, building in the realm of the impossible.

These are my people. Weekends find me nerding out about compute, space, and always music.
