Hello World!

I owe much to thought leaders like the two gents (Jason Fried & DHH) at Signal v. Noise (Basecamp) whose generosity with their knowledge and philosophy has helped me grow tremendously, and I decided to pay it forward by following their lead.

I recently left my job at a venture capital firm to pursue other goals and interests. I now build software to make complex things like insurance smarter, simpler, and approachable. Despite the long road still ahead, I want to share my story and the lessons I learned from reading, building, failing, and reflecting. I believe it might be useful or entertaining to others.

Down the line, I hope to share:

• How insurance works
• How insurance companies & agents make money
• Basic financial technology tips & tools
• Smart car technologies
• Millennials and business
• Strategic positioning

My philosophy, sweat, and humor will be on full display on Marina products soon. Until then, I hope to come up for air once in a while and share what I’ve learned in the worlds of tech, finance, and miscellany. If you want to follow this journey, stay tuned for more thoughts and the product release.
