It all started while I was mastering the game of poker during my studies in 2007. That's when I found both the funds and the inspiration to launch my first business. Ever since, I've been hooked—continuously building (see projects & ventures 👨‍💻) as well as investing in startups (see startups 💸).

From 2012 to 2016, I pursued a professional Beach Volleyball career. While traveling the world, I used my downtime to teach myself programming—mobile and web development in particular—a personal enabler that's been invaluable since.

To this day, I come up with new ideas every other day, build products from the ground up, get out into the woods, spend long hours at the keyboard, and pick up the next big skill—and I love hearing how others are doing it.

I've adopted an AI-first mindset and workflow—for better or worse—on a mission to chase the highest leverage for my ideas, effort, and time.

Along the way, I've also enjoyed coaching other peers and early-stage startups or take temporary roles focused on specific challenges.
