For the last 22 years, I've built companies and communities in the Bay Area, bringing people together around meaningful conversations about art, technology, religion, politics and philosophy. I've started a variety of businesses and served on the boards of several organizations.

In 2012 I founded Good People Dinners, a Bay Area community that fosters substantive discussions, usually over food and drink. These dinners, corporate salons, overnights and retreats bring together professional chefs and speakers on a wide range of topics. GP Dinners has produced over 300 events and counting.

In the fall of 2020, with partner Karin Johnson, we purchased a former summer camp in the mountains near Yosemite National Park. Camp Earnest's 21 acres include a rental house, several cabins, two three season bell tents, dining lodge, a bathhouse with a Finnish sauna and a cedar hot tub, an outdoor amphitheater, a year round creek and meadow and a meditation and movement hall.
