In Frames
A Few Moments
A little of the rest of my life: racing, the outdoors, friends, and family.
Who I am, how I think, and what I get up to when I am not at a desk.
I grew up in Fort Thomas, Kentucky, and I'm now studying finance at the University of Virginia. Most of my week goes to eGateway Capital, where I work as an Investment and AI Analyst Intern. I help research companies, build financial models, and put together the materials behind investment decisions, and I build internal AI tools that make that work faster.
What I care about most is being useful: figuring out what actually matters and explaining it clearly, so the people I work with can make good decisions. I'm early in my career and still learning a lot, and I genuinely enjoy that. I also like to build, whether that's a model or a small piece of software.
I'm hoping to start my career in investment banking, with a longer term goal of working in fintech and venture capital. I'd like to learn how to understand and value businesses well, then use that to help good companies grow. Alongside all of it, I run Division I cross country and track. Running taught me the simple truth behind most good work: show up, do the reps, and let it add up.
A conversation I had in high school changed how I see business. I got to know someone my age who had been let down by almost every system around him. He was not a customer, an employee, or an investor, so most business models simply did not account for him. Yet every decision those businesses made still reached his life.
Good businesses should do more than create value inside their own walls. They should widen access outside them.
I have only grown more sure of this as I watch what technology, and AI in particular, can do to shrink the old barriers of cost, scale, and distribution. The tools to do more good, more efficiently, exist now. The real question is whether we choose to use them. That belief is a big part of what pulls me toward investing: I want to learn to build and back businesses that are genuinely good, and that count the people the standard model tends to miss.

The summer after senior year, my buddy Alex and I loaded up an old Chevy my great uncle left me and spent twelve days driving through the Tetons, Yellowstone, and Glacier. We planned the whole thing ourselves: campsite lotteries, backup routes, truck maintenance, a satellite phone, and a budget of six hundred dollars each.
We hiked eighty miles of backcountry and cooked over a camp burner. Bears walked through our campsite, the truck broke down, and we slept soaking wet more than once. We laughed through all of it. What I took away was a real love for solving problems from scratch, with no instructions and no safety net, and learning to trust yourself when the plan falls apart.
This summer we are headed northeast to do it again.
My parents raised me outdoors. They took me backwoods camping, taught me to start a fire, and handed down a love of the wild that eventually became my own. A lot of what I do for fun still lives out there.
I also try to give time back. Between high school and UVA I have put in more than a hundred hours of service, from Mayfield tornado relief to school food and coat drives to the Steinford toy drive, and I run with Run Charlottesville now.
The things that keep me curious, competitive, and balanced.
Multi day trips off the grid. Planning carefully, packing light, and disconnecting to reset.
Exploring underwater. A sport that rewards calm, preparation, and respect for the conditions.
Patience and precision on the water. A quiet counterweight to a fast week.
Dialing in shots and chasing the perfect pull. A small daily obsession.
Shooting on film for the discipline of making every frame count.
Mobility and recovery to keep the body sharp after years of competitive running.
I'm also a longtime fan of Kentucky horse racing.
