2018 - 2019

  • Traveling / warehouses / yoga

    2018 - 2019

    Quit my job at Altimeter because I was antsy and wanted to travel the world.  Didn't end up traveling the world but saw a big chunk of Asia. Came back to San Francisco in late 2018 and needed a place to stay.  Found a warehouse on Craigslist and became friends with the owner - ended up investing in his cannabis startup in Puerto Rico and helped him and his partner rollup $100mm+ of warehouses in Puerto Rico. Also did plenty of yoga and worked on v1 of Macro and other projects.

2014 - 2018

  • Analyst / Chief of Staff to Brad Gerstner

    2014 - 2018

    Reached out to Brad via a cold email, convinced him to let me intern at Altimeter Boston as a 21-year-old that knew next to nothing about investing.  Next thing I knew, I was driving across the country to join Brad as he opened the Menlo office.  Was a ride of a lifetime. Forever thankful to Brad, Kevin, John, Ram, Hab, and the rest of the team for taking a chance on me and teaching me so many life lessons (in addition to what good investing looks like).
