Understanding why things work.

I've spent most of my life trying to understand why things work the way they do. People, organizations, systems, and increasingly, myself.

Four values have organized everything I've built: wisdom, courage, discipline, kindness. They show up in how I train, how I invest, how I coach, and why I left a stable career to build something I believe the industry is missing.

Twenty-five years inside engineering organizations watching the same failure modes repeat eventually became Clearline, a platform for diagnosing why delivery breaks down. The same instinct runs through everything else I build. Lucy applies systems thinking to health, money, and performance. VitalPort gives me my own health data without handing it to a platform. XerSize is where I think out loud about discipline and becoming.

I come alive in conversation with people who challenge my thinking. Some of my best ideas have arrived through someone pushing back on a model I thought was finished. I'm more interested in getting closer to what's true than in defending a position.

I live in Loveland, Colorado with my dog Remy. I run, lift, play competitive pool, trade options, and build in the evenings.

If any of this resonates, I'd enjoy the conversation.
