Questioning
Ideas, research, leadership, systems, science, and the discipline of thinking beyond the obvious answer.
The through line
The art of connecting
what seems unrelated.
I've never been particularly interested in defining myself through a single profession or discipline. What interests me most is how ideas connect—and what becomes possible when we bring different perspectives into the same conversation.
My background in political science and public administration gave me an enduring appreciation for institutions, leadership, incentives, and the decisions that shape people's opportunities. Entrepreneurship taught me what it takes to turn ideas into something useful. Scientific study deepened my curiosity about what we know, what we don't, and how much remains to be discovered.
Through all of it, I've come to value both independent judgment and the willingness to reconsider what I think I know.
Music, nature, creative expression, and meaningful conversations are just as much a part of that process. They remind me that understanding the world isn't only an intellectual exercise. It's also something we experience.
