High on life. Hooked on community. Rooted in family. Living with abundance.

Burn's done. Cleaning up the dust and putting things back the right way to prepare for 2027. Decompression and integration are top of mind, and Reboot 2026 was part of that decompression: 125 YC founders in the redwoods at Camp Navarro, October 1 to 4. Running Meadow. Raising my family in San Francisco. Teaching an AI to remember what I don't. Chasing flavors. Have a seat.
