What I'm Doing Now

Building

This website is still the foundation for everything else on my roadmap. Built with Astro, Tailwind, and deployed on Vercel. On top of it I've been shipping the guides I kept re-explaining to people: The One Paste (sets someone up in Claude Cowork in under 10 minutes), a full Cowork guide, an AI setup guide for the Journeymen Triangle mentorship nonprofit, and an enablement guide for a coworker getting started.

Most recent rabbit hole: building a Cowork OS plugin. Tools and skills for the platform I use every single day. There's something fun about building the workshop you work in. The Claude Starter Kit on GitHub is still the canonical "here's how I actually use Claude" package.

Working

Product management in the Salesforce ecosystem, building workflow tools for highly regulated industries. That's the day job, and it's not going anywhere. I like it.

Sorting the Money

After a couple of years of overthinking it, the boring machine is finally locked in. A simple 70/20/10 framework: 70% automated index core, 20% capped conviction sleeve, 10% dry powder for the next correction. Automated, rule-based, and built so the biggest risk to the portfolio (me) is mostly out of the loop. I wrote up the whole philosophy, mistakes included, on my investing page.

Experimenting

Deep into AI tools right now. The goal is to figure out what actually works versus what just makes good demo videos. Part of that has been working through 49 certifications to pressure-test the whole landscape. I keep a full breakdown of the tools I use on the homepage, but the short version: Wispr Flow for voice, Granola for meeting notes, Claude Cowork as the backbone, MCP connections as the glue, and Incogni + Claude for monthly privacy sweeps.

Playing

Teaching my wife Bailey and her friend Divya to play Magic: The Gathering through a custom five-scenario campaign instead of throwing them into the deep end. We're in the middle of Scenario 4, where the decks start to feel like the real thing. I'm also still building Commander decks by vibes, not by meta, with AI doing the heavy lifting.

Cleaning Up

Running an online presence scrub. Old social media accounts, data brokers, and the general digital debris that accumulates over a decade of being online. Using Incogni for the automated stuff and doing manual cleanup for everything else.

Reading & Listening

Always have an audiobook or podcast going. I tend to run wide on topics: business, finance, news, politics, tech. When things get busy, I narrow the lens to just what I can control: my job, the tech I'm building with, and my wife Bailey. Check out my books, podcasts, and YouTube creators for the full picture.

Past Adventures

During COVID I went deep on VR as a hobby. Full Valve Index setup, full body tracking, custom mods, tons of experiments. ThrillSeeker's YouTube channel got me through the dark times. It was genuinely fun, but at the end of the day it was a lot of work to set up, hard to play for more than 40 minutes, and awkward in a shared living space. Amazing tech, not quite frictionless enough yet. Still think it's the future though.
