Musings…
If you've made it this far, you're probably interested in what I have to say on a few things. Topics range from social impact, to entrepreneurship, to my recent forays into vibe coding and gaming, to personal travel and hobbies. I'll even get into topics like philanthropy and politics once in a while. Enjoy!

Origins of The Missing Piece
A personal essay tracing how a walking epiphany —"I am a game designer"— reframed a career in social entrepreneurship, journalism, and filmmaking as game design all along. Using Simon Sinek's Infinite Game philosophy, the piece positions The Missing Piece (a studio/collective born out of Burning Man) as a joyful complement to ongoing impact work, not a replacement for it. The through-line: life's most meaningful games are the ones we choose to keep playing, defining victory for ourselves along the way.
