Hello friend! 👋🏼


Thanks for hopping here to learn a bit more about me. Below are some of my conversation starter cards that I hope you'll enjoy scanning through. I'm always excited to meet new people and jam on ideas or just make a connection, so I'd love to hear from you!

🏡 CURRENTLY RESIDING IN

Hudson Valley NY

We settled down on a small plot of land in Hudson Valley where we get to enjoy starry nights and sounds of nature while our cat systematically eliminates the small prey population outside.
🎯 2024's PERSONAL CHALLENGE

Strong opinions loosely held

Doing research, synthesizing arguments, building conviction, developing thought leadership, and putting it out in the world to test. The little imposter gremlin is always there, but I'm trying to keep its volume low.
📘 READING

Healing of America

How do other countries handle their health systems? What models do they use? What are the pro's and cons? Written by T. R. Reid.
😂 WHAT MAKES ME LAUGH

Middleditch & Shwartz

Improv is such an incredible talent. The store of knowledge, creative agility, plus clever storytelling and wittiness. These guys always have me laughing.
🎸 LEARNING

Turkish

English to live in this country, Chinese to engage globally, and Turkish for a trilingual family.
🪵 LATEST DIY PROJECT

Live edge table

First real woodworking project. There's something very meditative about sanding wood for hours on end. Turned a freshly dried 7' slab of dark walnut into our entrance console table.
🦷 MOST USED FUN FACT

8 less teeth

I have 8 less teeth than the average person (they were all removed) and my teeth are still over crowded.
👁 WEIRDEST THING I OWN

An eye drop castle

Lasik recovery produced 300+ single use eye droppers. Felt like a missed opportunity to throw them away so I decided to make a castle of empty the shells.
