About me
Twitter

I help founders building the next generation of weird companies move past the ‘media is the enemy” phase to craft a story that can be broadcast far and wide. If your dream is to have a cover story in a prestige periodical, a Wall Street Journal stipple for your expert commentary, or reframe how a story in your space is covered, I can help you plot the course to get there. Consider me your diplomat to the 4th estate. I’m an effective accelerationist capitalist that speaks fluent woke. Reporters know and like me as their savvy crypto libertarian friend that lives on a Montana homestead. I’m well known for my doomer optimism, YIMBY advocacy for the Montana Miracle housing reform, my digital futurism and, somewhat weirdly, my years in luxury fashion & brands. Over the years I’ve done things like + Put a VC making her comeback on the cover of a national magazine + Secure the keynote slot of the biggest conference in a founder’s industry + Guided numerous CEOs through extensive press tours, with coverage blanketing their spaces From financial journalism to trade & specialty coverage to personality driven lifestyle pieces, I can take you from Bloomberg and Vogue to private Discords and influencer group chats.
