My Story

I rediscovered and reconnected deeply with my human side

For seven years at Google, I lived at the bleeding edge of the corporate machine — building the programs meant to accelerate careers, grow community and make work worth showing up for. I learned how much of a person a company never gets to see.

Longevity is the horizon. Adaptation is the practice.

I spent those years fascinated by the exact same question from two opposing directions: what makes people come alive at work, and what quietly wears them down. I designed for the first and watched the second happen anyway, to others, and to myself.

The corporate armour goes on early. After a while, you adapt so deeply to the performance that you forget you're wearing it. You learn to project a certainty you don't actually possess, building a life designed around external metrics rather than internal truth.

The Unwinding

What pulled me out wasn't a sudden epiphany. It was physical.

It started with movement. Not training for an arbitrary number or an aesthetic benchmark, but learning my own body well enough to notice where I was bracing.

It didn't take long to realise the bracing wasn't just physical. The way I held tension in my joints mirrored the way I held tension in a room, in a decision, and in my career. Same pattern, different tissue.

When you strip away the job titles, the prestige, and the endless loop of optimisation, you are left with a raw question: What is actually yours underneath the performance?

What Comes Next

That question is the entire foundation of Long Club.

It isn't a traditional fitness brand, and it isn't a management consultancy. It's a single inquiry explored through two mediums.

A physical foundation: a body you intimately understand, one you can trust and rely on for a decades-long arc of movement, adventure, and resilience.

A cognitive foundation: a mind capable of sitting comfortably with ambiguity, staying relentlessly curious, and making sound choices when the maps keep changing.

Still Figuring It Out

I'm not finished working this out, and I have no interest in pretending I have all the answers.

I am a curious mover, builder, and thinker before I am anything else, reading widely, testing ideas on myself in real-time, and comfortable changing my mind in public.

This space is where that ongoing experiment gets written down.
