Hey, I'm Frank.

I'm currently on sabbatical in 2024. This particular adventure started with living abroad in France and has morphed into various experiments to change the shape of my life. You can follow along on my newsletter.

Just prior, I helped build the foundations of a more private internet with Aleo and a product to fund Ethereum public goods with Gitcoin. In a past life, I played around with numbers as an analyst, but eventually shifted over to telling stories in the realm of products.

I do a fuck ton of jiujitsu and consider it an obsession that has altered the way I think about mindset, learning, training, and strategy.

I'm into a fair amount of cooking as well. I did some food science blogging, hosted experimental supper clubs, and worked at a 2* Michelin restaurant. The hospitality space continues to inspire me from a technological and cultural standpoint, and continually reminds me to be "unreasonably hospitable" because it keeps us human.

A bunch of my experimental writing is found below, along with cross posts from my newsletter. Enjoy!
