The personal collection

Life, off the clock.

The people, places, and small moments that keep me grounded.

About me

The story so far

My story began in the Philippines, continued in California as a teenager, and took me through Berkeley, London, and St Andrews. Work brought me to Chicago, Seattle, Austin, the Bay Area, and London, where I took on assignments across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Australia. Along the way I’ve been to more than 40 countries.

I’ve spent years helping organizations turn ambitious ideas into things that actually work. I’ve learned the more interesting question is rarely what did you do? It’s why did you choose to do it?

These days I’m working on a handful of projects. I’m building The Third Seat and this site, helping grow Tangle, and learning AI agents by putting them to work in my own week.

Off the clock, I’m spending time with my mom as she gets older. I’m also taking photos on film, going on adventures with Archie, and counting down to ski season.

01 / Family

Family & roots

Places change. Chapters turn. Family is woven through all of it, the roots I carry, the time we make for each other, and the everyday moments that become the stories we keep.

Getting outside

Hiking, running, cycling & beyond.

Getting outside.
Austin makes going the extra mile easy.

Through the lens

Film photography & the art of slowing down.

This old town has a good side. Lockhart, TX.
The sign said treats. Archie agreed.
