Now
What I'm actually doing right now.
This page is a snapshot, not a résumé. It's what I'm actually spending time on right now, and it goes stale the moment I stop updating it.
Last updated August 14, 2026
Building
- Payments work across the operating businesses — the unglamorous middle of it: underwriting, risk, and keeping merchants live. What I'm building →
- One new thing that is too early to name, which is usually a good sign.
Thinking About
- Why the most durable businesses look boring from the outside. Read the essay →
- Whether the best rooms are designed or just repeatedly shown up for.
Learning
- Music production. Specifically: finishing things instead of collecting half-tracks.
Reading
- One business book and one novel at the same time, which is the only way I finish either.
- Something on Jewish thought I have read before and clearly did not finish understanding.
Listening To
- Country-EDM edits in progress, plus whatever came out of the last set that refuses to leave my head. Music →
Training
- A strength block. Boring, repeatable, six days a week when travel allows.
Travel
- Nothing booked this minute, which never lasts long. Travel map →
Austin
- Getting people who should already know each other into the same room in Austin. Community →
Community
- Third Thursday continues monthly. Same night, longer table. Third Thursday →
Music
- Studio time between shows, and building sets around the guitar rather than bolting it on. Music →
Experiments
- Phone in another room after 9pm. Roughly a 60% success rate.
- Writing more in public. Ideas →
Inspired by the /now page convention — a public answer to “what are you focused on at this point in your life?” If something here looks out of date, it probably is. Tell me.
