I work on systems —
for the people inside them.

Law before psychology — understand systems. Then help the people within them.

I was drawn to people and to helping them directly. But somewhere early I came to believe that the deepest, most durable change happens when systems evolve — the rules, structures, and quiet defaults that shape millions of lives without anyone noticing. So I turned toward systems: to understand how they work, and how one person might actually move them. Law was the way in, not the destination.

I never wanted to lose the human side of that, though. So at a young age I trained as a practitioner of neuro-linguistic programming — a way to sit with one person and help them, directly and well. The two have run side by side ever since: the intimate and the systemic, the single conversation and the global structure. To me they have never been separate pursuits. They are the same impulse, working at two scales.

Two ends of the same work.

These can look like two different worlds — a global billing standard and a coaching practice for young people. To me they are one thing seen from two ends: the systemic and the personal. Ubuntu again — you cannot truly change a system without caring about the person inside it, and you cannot truly help a person without seeing the system around them.

An unusual path — every step a different system.

I am endlessly curious about how things work, and it has taken me down a road most people don't travel in a straight line. Looked at closely, though, there is a thread running through all of it: from the systems of sound, to the systems of society, to the systems of capital, to the systems of law.

Curiosity that doesn't stay in one lane.

My interests run wider than any one field. I'm drawn to economics and business, to community work, and increasingly to board-level questions — I am actively seeking board roles where I can contribute and grow at that level. I'm a committed early adopter of technology and a genuine believer that accountable AI can empower people rather than diminish them.

And if this site is any indication, I care about craft as much as ideas. Art and graphic design are a real love, not a side note — the way something is made says as much as what it says.
