This is a now page, and the idea comes from Derek Sivers.
Day-to-day living
Living in Sea Point with my wife Mignon and our Golden Doodle Suzy. Most days start with a walk, a coffee, and a quiet hour before the rest of the world wakes up. We're moving to the farm in October.
At work
Building Vertiqal, which I founded after leaving Root. Hit seven-figure ARR 12 months in, and I'm proud of what I've built and where it's going.
Experiments
Did 50 days without alcohol over Lent. Started running again after three years of fighting a knee injury. Slow miles, but they're miles.
That's it. If we haven't spoken in a while, this page is the fastest way to catch up.
