Happy Thanksgiving from above the clouds. Grateful for perfect conditions, this mountain community, and friends who make every season meaningful. There’s something about being up here that puts everything in perspective. 🏔️

There’s nothing like getting above the clouds to reset your mind and recharge. Grateful for moments like this, grateful for the perspective that only the mountains can give. Winter is here and I’m ready for it.

From vacant lots to 20 new homes in 8 months.

Holyoke Homes shows why modular construction is the future of affordable housing development. Speed matters. Economics matter. But impact matters most.

86% appreciation in 5 years. $190K in equity gains per home.

While everyone’s chasing overheated coastal markets, Pittsburgh is quietly offering $250K median homes with real fundamentals: stable appreciation, and buyers with actual purchasing power.

The Hard Part Starts Now

Zohran’s victory marks a generational reset in New York. He’s young, sincere, and connects with people in a way few politicians can. But governing will test him more than campaigning ever did.

Real examples, real results — and yes, I’m always happy to help.

Is AI a bubble—or just a wild ride we can’t get off? 💭

$300B spent on data centers every 10 months. Nvidia worth $4.5T. AI stocks = 70% of market gains this year.

What a government shutdown really tells us about ourselves.

It’s less about politics-as-usual and more about what this moment reveals about how we’re working (or not working) together.
