Build companies.
Write things down.

I’m a Canadian entrepreneur. I work across eCommerce, payments, and health companies, and I put time into science that extends healthy human life.


I split my time between Latin America and the United States. I travel to Europe and Asia whenever the work allows.

In my twenties I built and ran companies that each did more than $1 million a month. I still operate, and I still invest.

Quiet weeks.Most of the work is ordinary. Operators and health.Two kinds of work. Here’s the work.How I spend my time, and why. Cash flow funds science.Operations pay for the long bets. Still in payments.Distribution beats clever products. A teller’s habits.What I learned counting other people’s money. In public since 2007.Why this site exists. Time zones.Latin America, the US, and the rest.
