This week
Rocket launch, watched from the ground.
Not everything interesting happens on a screen. Sometimes the best reminder is a column of fire in the sky and a few hundred engineers somewhere quietly being right.
Work
- →Went to a rocket launch — good reminder that some teams still build the kind of physical thing you can see from miles away.
- →MarketMatch — tightening pricing intelligence around dealership workflows, Cox data, and the next customer conversations.
- →Yashar Family Investments — sourcing and allocating around SPV/private-market opportunities, public exposure, and risk management.
- →Trading stays as a public-market discipline layer, not the headline.
Reading
- →Re-reading The Outsiders (Thorndike) — capital allocators who didn't ask permission.
- →Substack: Doomberg, Net Interest, Stratechery.
Open to
- →Coffee in Pittsburgh, especially with founders working on boring infrastructure in finance, retail, or auto.
- →Intros to dealerships outside Pittsburgh — particularly in PA, NJ, NY.
- →Conversations about used-car retail, dealer software, or quiet capital.
Schedule
- →Most weeks I'm in Pittsburgh. Travel for the right reason.
- →Fastest way to reach me is /book. Email second.
