I grew up in Cashmere, Washington, a town of about 3,000 people in the eastern part of the state. It was pretty isolating living there. However, it was located in a picturesque area, I made some life-long friends, and I wouldn't be the person I am today without that experience. The background photo was taken on a hike near my home.

I have a very supportive family. They are always there to lend a helpful perspective and push me in a positive direction. The background photo was taken of us all in Tiananmen Square in Beijing, China.

I had a great college experience academically and personally. I majored in both Philosophy and Economics at Claremont McKenna College. I was exposed to many interesting ideas, made some good friends, and partied too much. The background photo was taken during Graduation.

Ever since my internship at Google, I knew I wanted to work in tech. After graduation, I worked at Square and then at 0x, a decentralized exchange protocol on Ethereum. I then spent 4 years as the Head of Growth at the Solana Foundation. Now, I’m a General Partner at a crypto venture fund called Colosseum. The background photo was taken of my old coworkers and I in Seoul, South Korea.

Music has always been an important part of my life. I took 14 years of weekly piano lessons and traveled all over the PNW competing. Listen to a recital I gave in high school here and here. In college, my taste changed from Beethoven to Porter Robinson. I now listen to electronic music every day and regularly attend live shows. The background photo was taken at a music festival in Los Angeles.

I never thought about the food I ate or how I treated my body until my dad had some recent health issues. It prompted me to start seriously finding ways to reduce risk later in life. Over the past couple years, I’ve spent countless hours researching fitness programs and nutrition science. I now exercise regularly, intermittent fast, and spend most days in ketosis.
