hey i'm frank

i spent 2024 and 2025 on sabbatical—living abroad in france, finding lost relatives in china, co-publishing a zine of essays for those rewriting the rules of work, and running experiments to change the shape of my life

before that, i worked in crypto as a product manager and broke into hospitality by staging at 2* Michelin restaurant Birdsong SF and pulling shots at Boast Coffee Co

these interests have gotten me curious about the intersection of food, brand, and tech

i'm also deep into jiujitsu—it's an obsession that's changed how i think about teaching, competing, and learning. i write about it at longform jiujitsu

lastly, i occasionally help folks organize their personal finances
