I’m an operator in Portland, Oregon. Since 2014 I’ve worked in medical cannabis access, terpene manufacturing, Oregon’s psilocybin program, a platform for the market MDMA-assisted therapy was expected to open, and now longevity.
Right now · September 2026
Chief Information Officer and Chief Product Officer at Supermind. Chief of Staff at Super Human Digital, a longevity media company. Day to day, I run Longevity.io.
How I build
My formal education was in software development, and then I stepped away from it for about ten years. After ChatGPT launched, I sat back down at the desk in early 2023, and I’ve been going pretty much nonstop since. Most of that work happens inside larger projects: I use my coding harness for research, reports, images and internal prototypes that get handed off to our team’s developers.
Where I’m useful
The problems that end up with me tend to look alike. A company has outgrown the systems its founders built by hand. A product has to get from an idea to a shelf through suppliers, manufacturers and regulators. Or a market the plan depended on has moved, and the work has to find its next use without being thrown away.
