I build companies to solve challenging problems with creative, scalable solutions. While having Deaf parents started me out in the accessibility space, I've found myself drawn to education and edtech, biology (epigenetics, skeletal biology, and play behavior), geopolitics, economics (Bitcoin), and philosophy.
I grew up interpreting for my Deaf parents from English to American Sign Language, studied the Great Books at St. John's College, and published my first peer-reviewed biology paper in Biological Reviews.

Formerly an online Socratic school for grades six through twelve (2020-2021, now under a different name), I'm interested in creative ways to encourage Socratic conversation and dialogue, anywhere on earth.

How can we restore pre-modern humanity in a post-modern world, without decelerating technologically?
That question runs through my work and thinking. How can fragile human capacities, taken far out of their elements, become hyper-resilient to the very forces that broke them? This entails exploring while zoomed out (e.g. American manufacturing) and zoomed in (epigenetics). To the end of building resilience, I enjoy thinking about, and experimenting with, aesthetics, which I see as inseparable from our ethics (how we choose to live).
