Oil on canvas,
soul in color.

Capital meets
conviction.

I study markets, build investment theses, and allocate capital with a long-term lens.

Thesis-Driven

Every position starts with a written thesis. If I can't articulate why in three sentences, I don't buy.

Asymmetric Bets

I look for situations where downside is bounded but upside is non-linear. Small positions, big potential.
