I'm a founder and investor. My focus right now is a set of stealth projects at the intersection of finance and AI. I also run Ring Mint, our family jewelry business, where I make and source fine jewelry to order. I invest at seed and angel stage, and I write about operations, AI, and venture capital.

What I'm building

In stealth
Founder. Projects at the intersection of finance and AI. More soon.
Ring Mint
Founder. Fine jewelry made and sourced to order. Custom work is built the way the piece demands, by CAD, by hand, or both, and by whichever master craftsman is right for the job, or by me. Everything from engagement rings, wedding bands, earrings, and necklaces to ready made jewelry and fully custom rare pieces, in natural and lab grown diamonds and colored gemstones. I source against each client's brief to curate the best possible result every time, below jewelry-store prices. Our family business, founded in 1974 and refined in 2026.
