§ Values — what I optimize for
What I optimize for.
The handful of principles I keep coming back to — in the work, and out of it.
- 01
Commitment
Being able to trust someone's word means the world to me. On the surface it's showing up on time and getting your part done — but deeper, it's trusting that someone has my best interests at heart, and knowing I have theirs. It's the foundation for all my relationships: friends, family, co-workers, and the partners of the organizations I work with.

Ambition
It's almost exclusively the trait I look for when hiring interns. Whether it's the gym, academics, or sport, the hunger I pour into these things feels almost primal — and people with that same level of obsession naturally become the people I want to work with.
