Life Outside Tech
Snorkeling & Freediving
Exploring the underwater world on a single breath is something that brings me calm and focus. Whether it is snorkeling over reefs or pushing depth limits while freediving, there is a quiet peace beneath the surface that is hard to find elsewhere.
Public Markets Investing
Public markets investing is one of those activities where the research is half the fun. I like digging into companies, understanding their fundamentals, and then watching how things play out over time.

Music
I picked up the guitar as a kid. Never got particularly good at it. Still trying. I have always appreciated music - after all, I married a singer. Together, we try our hand at recording covers every now and then. We recorded a few Christmas ones. No pressure, just for fun.
