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.

As a teenager, I spent every night in music production forums until 4 am, learning to build quickly, network effectively, and create something people actually wanted. These communities were full of ambitious night owls across the globe, all chasing something special. It was all-consuming. Years later, building decentralised applications in the wild west of crypto felt remarkably similar, just crazier. The 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.
