For me, joy is all about making surprising connections. Deep down, I have a belief that there’s something to be learned from everything, and that the big ideas that move us forward tend to emerge from the interplay of ideas across diverse experience. I think that’s why I’ve always been so eager to throw myself into new things, and why I’ve found so much joy in my current role in our Tokyo office. There’s so much opportunity for originality!

Being a competitive athlete was a big part of my identity growing up. I grew up in suburban America (in Andover, Massachusetts) and lived in the Boston area until I was about 25 years old. When I was a child, I was obsessed with baseball, and wanted nothing more than to be a pro ball player. I was a “crafty” lefty pitcher who made a living by outsmarting his opponent, but I had very little margin for error. Although I played competitively at Tufts University, I eventually had to absorb the hard truth that my craftiness couldn’t overcome a lack of talent, and I started focusing on other things.
