Updated September 5, 2025, from my sunny home office in the Upper West Side of New York City.
As mentioned on my Executive Search page, I'm digging into my career pivot into the world of executive search.
I moved to NYC in fall 2025 after many years of feeling pulled here and visiting for work and pleasure. I'm just getting started in exploring all of the great restaurants, culture, and hidden gems as unpacking and settling in takes time.
I'm exploring new yoga studios as well as a new swimming pool for my swimming efforts.
I shot a tremendous amount of photography 2010-2013 and made decent money (especially for a college student). I set it aside after that and have sine only dabbled. In 2023, I took a wonderful tour through Florence where we were given a polaroid camera and a pack of film. That three-hour excusion reminded me how much I enjoy photography, and I've since been accelerating how often I take the camera out. I've recently been shooting often and posting my photos on my Instagram.
I'm making an effort to stay up to date on the latest features/platforms and to integrate LLMs into my workflows. I've been sharing content that I find helpful with a small list of friends in an effort to further my own understanding and hopefully help others who aren't as plugged in. Shoot me an email if you're interested in joining the list.
I'm a huge fan of science-fiction and fantasy works and often have 1-2 books I'm reading and an audiobook that I'm listening to. Lately, I've been revisiting some classics (LotR, 1984, Wild Seed), indulging in some progression (Dungeon Crawler Carl and He Who Fights with Monsters), and exploring newer works (Tchaikovsky, Drew Hayes, Gwynne, Ambercrombie, and, of course, Sanderson).
