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

A page of what I’m currently up to (last updated July 2025).

I am advancing Stoic Philosophy.

Discovering Stoicism reshaped my life. What began as a curiosity has become a calling. After attending the inaugural Aurelius Foundation event in London, I joined the effort to bring Stoic philosophy to a broader audience by helping organize the 2026 U.S. event. It’s a privilege to collaborate with brilliant thinkers and bring ancient wisdom into modern relevance.

I am Writing The Invisible Apple.

I’m deep into writing The Invisible Apple, a book of whimsical dialogues on money, meaning, and modern life. Inspired by Lewis Carroll and Douglas Hofstadter, the book plays with paradox, language, and recursion to explore what we often overlook in finance. It’s a creative leap for me and easily the most ambitious writing project I’ve undertaken.

I am Renovating Our House Into a Home.

I’m in the midst of converting our house from a duplex into a single-family home. It’s been a slow transformation—full of planning, problem-solving, setbacks, and learning on the fly. Room by room, the space is becoming more intentional and unmistakably ours.

Studying Market Principles with Ray Dalio.

I’m currently taking Ray Dalio’s Market Principles course through the Wealth Management Institute in Singapore. It’s a deep dive into his mental models: cause-and-effect dynamics, economic cycles, and the discipline of radical clarity. Dalio’s thinking aligns closely with how I approach both investing and life.

I am continuing my tennis journey.

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.

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 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.
