Connected curiosity unlocks creativity, possibility and breakthroughs.
I’m a builder who still does the work. Brands, products, ventures, AI: different rooms, same job. Find the real problem, then design the thing people actually want.
It starts in Milford.
Connecticut shoreline kid. I took apart every computer I could reach, just to see how it worked.
Key achievements
The receipts behind the story. Numbers I’m proud of, earned with a lot of great people.
Square feet at District, the New Haven campus I cofounded.
Raised with and for the founders I’ve partnered with.
Exits and IPOs I’ve helped make happen as an operator, partner and mentor.
People who read my weekly notes on creativity, AI and building.
What keeps me curious
Creativity is a way of being, not a job title.
Generalists who connect the dots end up seeing what specialists miss.
Big ideas come from collisions, not lone geniuses.
Five days to answer the big question. Prototype before you pitch.
Everyone is creative. Most people just need permission.
If people keep getting it wrong, the design is wrong.
Nothing is original. Remix on purpose.
The messy, honest version of building something that lasts.
