Consider myself a relentless reverse engineer. Start from the answer and work backwards to what has to be true. These days, I do that at Volt, leading early stage rounds for founders building coordination systems across the physical world.
Before becoming an investor, I was an industrial engineer. Made complex systems run faster & leaner, led an innovation center, built market indices. Same job every time, which is still how I think. Find the break point, then work backwards to the components that have to exist.
Outside of markets, I enjoy backgammon & golf. Mostly scrambling, but a big believer that trees are 90% air.
