doing

things i want to learn or get better at:

• human crafted coding (this website is my noob attempt)
• interactive digital storytelling
• free diving
• spearfishing
• fabrication + ceramics
• listening (always)
• finish things!

things i've done:

a lot of people assume i moved to brunswick heads (pop: 3000!) to work at regen. the truth is i was a burnout high achiever who ended up here by accident. while i was ~figuring things out~ this is what i was up to:

• travelled by scoopy from java to sumbawa
• surfed the biggest waves of my life
• worked in a pub, a brewery, and on my parents' gardening app
• helped deliver flood relief to families hit by the victoria floods
• made some art, wrote some stories
• lived in a huntsman-infested ohana in upcountry maui

then, by serendipity (and probably persistence), i met dan and tom in the northern rivers. they took a chance on me and let me come in basically unscripted to a part-time role at regen. that turned into what i do now. since then i've:

• contributed to the evolution of regen's intellectual and creative identity as we've grown
• conceived and wrote our physical publications (notably the manifesto), built our four-pillar thesis, and led our editorial direction
• led and supported diligence and investment in some genuinely world-changing humans building ulysses, anthrogen, differential, hum, the electric plant company
• co-built a no-strings fellowship program with sam, funding people pre-formation to take an idea to its most ambitious form
• made an app that blocks out the optimal time each day to become unreachable in the ocean (the alpha is proprietary)

people whose work i like learning from:
michael levin, henrik karlsson, david deutsch, kevin kelly, stewart brand, jane jacobs, karl polanyi, patrick collison, peter thiel, w. brian arthur, césar hidalgo, michael nielsen
