Festina Lente is my creative outlet. It's a space where I think through culture, technology, work, and art. It's also where I think about people and the places they love, which turns out to be most of what matters.

I work at the intersection of business, innovation, politics, and academia — as a strategic advisor to community builders, CEOs, internet personalities, accidental villains, aspiring heroes, underdogs, and friends — which is to say, I work with people who are trying to make a meaningful difference in the world, even when (especially when) the path forward isn't obvious.

I'm interested in systems that work and ideas that travel. I'm interested in what we build and how we build it — and whether, when we look back, we'll recognize the thing we meant to make.

If you're here, you're probably interested in some version of that too. Welcome.
