I am not a writer. I am a circuit.
Twenty years of pointing a camera at people who could not hear each other; now I build the machines that make them sit down and talk.

ACT I
The documentary years
An Emmy on the shelf. Athens filmed street by street as the crisis broke over it. The truck drivers of India, followed down their highways. Three total eclipses, chased across the planet with a camera.
Twenty years of pointing a lens at people and waiting for the truth to walk into frame.
ACT II
The festival
Co-founder and creative director of Soundslinger — building Okeechobee Music & Arts Festival in the Florida grasslands, and directing how tens of thousands of people saw it, felt it, and remembered it.
Three years of gathering the tribe instead of filming it. The parable got its own film — two warring tribes, one festival, peace made through games.
ACT III
Capital in Africa
Partner at Timon Capital — seed checks for exceptional founders across Sub-Saharan Africa, from banking infrastructure to airships, out of Lagos and New York.
The same instinct as documentary: find the story early, then back it.
ACT IV
Sacred Circuits and the machines
Now the notes from those decades feed an oracle. JARVIS answers in a voice built from myths and field recordings; the Pantheon gives the old gods pages, portraits, and speech.
It ends in the room reality refuses to build — enemies, the dead, whole nations, staged under one mandate: find the consensus, or map exactly where it breaks.
