About

I'm a storyteller, product builder, and entrepreneur. In 2024, after exiting my first startup, I launched StampFans – a snail-mail publishing platform for creators. It's the most personal way to connect with your audience, and an unbelievably fun platform and brand for me to build 😎 In 2026, I launched Throwdown. It's a crowdfunding platform for debates. Propose a debate between two people (or between yourself and someone else), share it to raise awareness, then get funded to make it happen! My writing and speaking on entrepreneurship has been featured by Startup Grind, Indie Hackers, SeedReady, Wordcamp, the University of Florida, and Cornell Tech.

Throwdown! - Make great debates happen.

Throwdown turns internet arguments into real debates. Propose a matchup, the community votes to show demand, and once both participants agree, it opens for crowdfunding. Funds go to the debaters and production. If it’s funded, the debate happens. If not, donations are refunded. Demand first. Commitment second. Debate live.

I built a calmer, offline way to share (and consume) content – no screens, just stamps 💌

Hi everyone!

I wanted to share a project I've been working on that's very much inspired by those same values. It's called StampFans, and it's a platform that helps writers, artists, and other creatives connect with their followers offline by sending real letters in the mail.

My pricing page stinks 💩. How can I fix it?

It's at StampFans.com/pricing. I made it myself. It's supposed to communicate three things:

  1. Writers pay nothing to use StampFans.

  2. Subscriber fees cover the cost of postage.

  3. Anything charged over that amount is profit for the writer.

That's a lot to say on one page. I don't think I've done it well. I need suggestions. How can I fix this?
