About

I currently live in San Francisco and work at OpenAI. I have a BA in Chemistry from Occidental College and an MBA from Harvard Business School.

I write essays on software sales, product-led growth and startups which you can subscribe to via my Mercantile newsletter.

I love to read. You can see the books I'm reading on Goodreads and the newsletters I'm subscribed to on Substack.

I'm paranoid I won't be able to recall what I read, which is why I collect quotes and ideas I like and write reviews of the books I read.

I helped develop and publish an indie board game called Stack and Attack.

I like to joke that I am a scientist because my college chemistry research was eventually published by the American Chemical Society.
