This is a now page inspired by the awesome Derek Sivers.

A page of what I’m currently up to (last updated February 2024).

I am advancing Stoic Philosophy. Discovering Stoicism was a game-changer for me—it's reshaped how I see and live my life. After getting inspired at the first-ever Aurelius Foundation event in London last year, I jumped at the chance to help organize the 2024 U.S. event. I am proud to collaborate with some of the most esteemed minds in the field and create an event that honors the rich legacy of Stoic philosophy and makes its timeless wisdom accessible and relevant to our modern world.

I am studying Choice Theory. I was introduced to Dr. William Glasser’s Choice Theory a few years ago thanks to a book recommendation from my wife. This theory is based on the idea that individuals have control over their own actions and limited influence over others. In March, I’ll begin my training with the Glasser Institute.

I am playing tennis with passion and purpose. Though I first picked up a racket in high school, I've only recently committed to honing my skills. After improving my fitness last year, I'm focused on leveling up my game through dedicated practice and instruction. The more I play, the more I love this sport.

I am reading to nourish my mind. I’m still reading for 1-2 hours each evening. I'm tackling the financial classics I've missed this year, but I'll also mix some stuff from different areas and some fiction. I always like to mix it up.

I am writing to think more clearly. A few years ago, I set the goal of writing more frequently. Launching two blogs gave my words a home. Now, I aim to create substantial works, including publishing my first book within a few years.

I am serving my clients and adding new ones at Vermillion Private Wealth. Since starting my firm in 2020, I've focused on sharpening my skills, expanding my knowledge, and partnering with amazing clients. I’m driven to create a genuinely top-notch firm.

I am growing Wixology Candle Company. A fun side project has blossomed into a real business. Each new challenge strengthens our team as we develop new products and business strategies. It's deeply fulfilling to see our vision come to life.
