About Me

The quote ‘condensing fact from the vapor of nuance’ comes from one of my favorite books of all time, Snowcrash. The line is spoken by Juanita, a hacker/forensic anthropologist.

I am currently ceo of ohai, an online gaming startup.  I was most recently a VC with Charles River Ventures. I have a more official bio here.

When I’m not hanging out online…

I love snowboarding (preferably at Mammoth,) practicing yoga (mostly at Yoga Tree), spending time outdoors (ideally far from civilization,) reading (Haruki Murakami, Ted Chiang & Donald Barthelme are my favorites,) and watching movies (Thin Red Line and Voices of a Distant Star are my favorites.  Terrence Malick, if you’re out there, we should hang out =).

I love adventures.

If I weren’t doing what I am doing now…

I would be a photojournalist, anthropologist, Cirque du Soleil performer, human rights activist or working with the Gates Foundation.

I greatly admire people who…

have the strength of conviction.  Life is so very short and we should be living with intention.

fight for what they believe in.
