I like building things.
Sometimes they become companies. Sometimes they become habits. Sometimes they become parts of who you are.
I’m a husband and a dad. Most of what matters to me happens outside of work, and most of what I build is shaped by that.
I’ve finished four Ironmans, built a children’s publishing company, and I’m always experimenting with the next idea. What I build usually starts with curiosity and ends with something tangible.
Born on Leap Day. A statistical anomaly I didn’t choose.
Moved to Chicago. A leap of a different kind.
First Chicago Marathon. Discovered what discipline feels like.
Married. The real anchor.
Started First Time Books. First real bet on myself.
Ashwin and Naveen. The timeline changed shape.
Completed my fourth Ironman. 2012. 2014. 2017. 2021.
Rode Mont Ventoux. Still choosing difficult things.
Building what’s next.
