About Me

I've always been a nerd. The kind of kid who wanted to play baseball and responded by reading 3 books about it before buying a glove. I still think the multiple choice test is the greatest form of competition known to man. (I will die on this hill.)

The Path

I was a lawyer. For 90 days.

Graduated near the top of my class. Loved the law. Hated the business. You can't optimize or tinker with anything when your job is to be leverage for partner billing. I once played soccer in the hallways on a Saturday so a partner could focus. That was enough clarity for me.

I left and started my first company. We went public in a brand new industry where nothing existed yet: no playbook, no infrastructure, no precedent. We had to build the physical operations, the digital systems, and the market itself. Over 5 years we took it to nearly $1B market cap, hired hundreds of people, and went international. That experience bolted systems thinking into how I look at everything.

Now I'm CEO of MBody AI. We use AI to simplify operations with robotics, making things turnkey for customers who don't want to become robotics companies. We're going public on NASDAQ. Internally, we're AI-native. All of us use AI. Many of us code.

Why This Blog

I've always liked to read, write, think, and make ideas real. The problem was always execution. I could see exactly what I wanted to build but needed other people's hands to build it.

That's over now. For the first time I can build with my own fingers. This website, for example (I didn't write a single line of code). Small is beautiful, and one person with the right tools can do things that used to require a team.

This blog is where I write about what's actually working, what isn't, and what I'm learning along the way. Lab notebook energy. No polish.

When I'm not building, I'm a husband of almost 20 years and a new dad. So, building in a different sense.

Always happy to talk AI tools, building companies, or why multiple choice is the superior test format.
