Books That Shaped My Thinking
Thinking in Systems
Donella H. Meadows
This book revolutionized how I understand complex problems. It provided a framework for seeing the interconnections between different parts of a system and how small changes can lead to significant outcomes.
“Understanding feedback loops and system structures is crucial for effective problem-solving and creating lasting change.”
Team of Teams
Stanley McChrystal
McChrystal's insights on adapting organizational structure to meet modern challenges resonated deeply with my experience in fast-paced tech environments. The book demonstrates how traditional hierarchies can evolve to become more agile and effective.
“In complex environments, adaptability and shared consciousness are more valuable than efficiency and traditional command structures.”
Zero to One
Peter Thiel
A paradigm-shifting perspective on innovation that challenged my understanding of true progress. Thiel's distinction between horizontal and vertical progress fundamentally changed how I approach problem-solving.
“The best entrepreneurs don't just iterate on existing ideas - they create entirely new categories.”
Beyond Technology
Surfing
I started surfing just over a year ago. I've found it to be an amazingly therapeutic activity that continues to challenge me.
Hosting BBQs
After moving to a new city, I quickly found community in bringing friends and strangers alike together over good food and conversation. I've met some of my best friends through my BBQs. The one pictured was cowboy/girl themed.
Volleyball
I have a volleyball net that I bring to a nearby park every Tuesday. I've grown to love the game and the community we've formed around it.
Iowa State Athletics
Passionate Cyclones fan and alum. You won't be hard pressed to find me watching or attending games at Jack Trice Stadium or Hilton Coliseum.
Travel
I discovered a love for travel in high school during an exchange trip to Germany. Since then, I've been fortunate to travel to over 10 countries and counting. Each place brings freshness and inspiration.
Dune Series
I was NOT a fiction reader before Dune. Now, I'm a bit obsessed. The blend of politics/religion, world-building, and constant psycho-analysis is awe-inspiring. Currently on book 3 - Children of Dune.
