Middleburgh, NY
The Catskills

I build from a small town in upstate New York. It’s not a branding move—it’s an environment choice: fewer distractions, clearer thinking, and a community scale that keeps my work grounded in reality.

Why Here

Breakthrough work rarely comes from the institutional center. It comes from the margins, where thinking can develop without performance pressure. The Catskills give me the space to build carefully and the context to build for humans.

A lot of my current work is “infrastructure for community”—tools that help people coordinate and thrive without turning relationships into transactions.

What This Enables

  • Deep focus: fewer context switches, longer uninterrupted build cycles.
  • Operational realism: solutions tested against non-ideal conditions and real constraints.
  • Community context: building with an eye toward trust, continuity, and long-term stewardship.
