Writing
My writing lives in four places, each with a distinct purpose or posture.
Patina Capital Essays
Evergreen essays on company building, capital, stewardship, and judgment.
These pieces are shaped by my work acquiring and operating businesses, and advising founders and CEOs. They are written after experience has accumulated and conclusions have settled.
Written with durability in mind, published without dates or timestamps.
margins
A personal notebook. margins sits outside the machinery. No schedule, no audience in mind.
This is where my exploratory writing collects. Craft. Spirituality. Awe. Wonder. The things that do not fit neatly into business or investing. It’s what remains when outcome is removed and attention is allowed to linger.

Decada Group Annual Letters
Written in the tradition of shareholder letters, though Decada Group has no investors to report to. Instead, this is how we mark the year and report to our team, the sellers who entrust us with their businesses, and our broader community.
These letters reflect on the work underway across our companies, the small business landscape, and the long-term posture we take as owners and stewards in Utah.
The Durable Dispatch
Occasional contributions to The Durable Dispatch, where I write alongside other operators and business owners in Utah. The Dispatch is a platform of Durable, Utah’s Business Commons.
