Hey!
I’m happy to see you here!
Became a doctor in Scotland
Did my undergrad at the University of St. Andrews and medical degree at the University of Edinburgh. Although I went to the same school as William and Kate, I am not part of the British royal family.
Sports is my obsession
Play golf, tennis and basketball when I can. Primarily watch football (both types) and basketball while spending way too much time thinking about Kawhi's shot, debating whether Jurgen Klopp or Masai Ujiri are the greatest men alive and contemplating why Lamar Jackson and the Ravens offense is so inconsistent.
Frequent traveler
Visited 55 countries by the time I was 21. Got super lucky to be born to parents who loved 15-hour flights, traveling to multiple continents in the same week and exploring all the beauty this world has to offer.
Danced Bollywood
for over a decade as a kid and been re-discovering it recently, especially now that white kids are blowing up on Tik Tok dancing to Indian music.
Since leaving medicine in 2018, discovered a love for writing, reading and meditating (thanks Tim Ferris) having read 281 non-fiction books, written over 957 blog posts and meditated for more hours than you can imagine. All of these numbers are wrong, but hopefully you get the point - I've been busy.
Started this website as a way to learn from the past, write for the present and use it to prepare for our challenging future.
Hope you learn something while you're here and get inspired to be a better you.
If you want to support me along this journey, feel free to buy me a beer. Really appreciate it.

What I'm Doing Now
Wrote my 1000th blog post
Started journaling in 2018, blogging in 2021 and now 3.5 years on, I published my 1000th blog post. Just goes to show you what consistency and commitment can get you. Can't stop here
Booked an Ironman
After completing a marathon last year after training for 4 months, I took a break from physical goals. Inspired by the Olympics this summer, Matt from Yes Theory and a friend of mine, I decided now's the best time in my life to train for an Ironman, the hardest challenge of my life
Wrote 2 books, contemplating a 3rd
After writing 2 books last year, one about changing careers and the other a collection of poetry, I wasn't sure what I wanted to write next. Kept up with the blog but deciding on if I want to publish my 3rd book which is a second collection of poetry. Debating between that and writing a fiction book
Happy where I am:
Celebrated my 5 year anniversary at the firm recently. Love what I've been able to do at the fund the last few years but know this job isn't forever. I'm getting all the opportunity I ever wanted and yet it feels like this can't be it. Contemplating a few options, but happy with how far I've come and what I've been able to do the last few years.
