Life... so far.
The longer version of the two sentences on the homepage: where I came from, what I keep coming back to, and why any of this is here at all.
I like committing to things I’m not certain I can do and feel at my best when I’m pushing my own boundaries. Most weeks are some arrangement of working, training, cooking, reading and spending time with people I love.
The other constant is the natural world. This year I spent a week on Tasmania’s South Coast Track carrying everything I needed, and it’s been on my mind since. The list of places I want to experience like this is much longer than the list of places I have, and I’m working on that. Travel and hiking have taught me more than most rooms I’ve sat in, mainly about how little I actually need, and how much better I think when I detach from habit and familiarity.
Career-wise, I dropped out of a business degree (entrepreneurship major) after a year, because school didn’t feel like the place to learn entrepreneurship. What followed was a string of my own ventures with varying degrees of success, and an education I couldn’t have bought: I learned that I love working in small teams, that I’m innately drawn to new technology, and that I’d rather build the thing than wonder what it’d be like.
The through-line, if there is one, is leverage. I keep moving toward wherever a small group of people can have the most outsized effect. At the end of 2025 that conviction took me to Sydney to work on VenueNow, where I now spend my days building with AI: agents and tools that surprise me everyday. The current version of what I’m doing there lives on the Now page.
Running is also worth mentioning, as a big focus for me right now. One of my early memories is watching my dad run the London Marathon, raising money for leukaemia research. In 2024 I was a bit lost and wanted to commit to something that scared me a little. So as a lifter, I picked the one form of training I genuinely didn’t enjoy, and started running. I committed to the Sydney Marathon, ran it, and raised money for leukaemia research like my dad before me.
Running is also the most honest mirror I’ve found for everyday life. Some days you arrive prepared and have a sh*t session anyway; some days everything is effortless and you can’t say why. Through it all, every day spent running is worth it, and the best moments are unreasonably good. It’s life, compressed into hours. It also lets me eat an outrageous amount of food.
This site exists because writing forces me to actually finish a thought. Most of what’s in my head stays half-formed until I try to put it in sentences someone else could read. Maybe a piece here sparks a conversation; at minimum, it’s a medium for self-expression, and I’m comfortable admitting I’m still working out the rest of the answer.
What’s here will drift. In a year I might be writing about something I haven’t heard of yet, and I’d like that to be fine. The homepage is just a list, in the order things happened, with no promises about what comes next.
I live in Sydney with my partner, and life is pretty good.
If you read this far, reach out. I’d love to hear your story too.
If you’re in Sydney and want to run or grab a coffee, say g’day. If you’re further away, say hello anyway.
These submissions go straight to my personal inbox and I read all of them.
