Austin / Joshua Tree

I work at the intersection of human nature, creative direction, and venture building.

Currently, I am Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer of Global Venture Builder, where I help turn early ideas into understandable products, narratives, and companies.

I also write about perception, identity, technology, consciousness, and what it means to become more fully human.

Human Operating Manual

An evolving research and writing project about attention, belief, identity, nervous-system state, and conscious participation in one’s own life.

It is being developed through essays, personal experimentation, and conversations with practitioners and builders.
