PLEASE JOIN ME IN SAYING
❤️ A FOND “FAREWELL” TO SAN FRANCISCO ❤️
Are you sitting down? OK, cause here goes — after over TWENTY GLORIOUS YEARS, I’ve made the heartbreaking decision to say farewell to San Francisco. I know, I KNOW…. I can’t believe it either! There are a lot of reasons for this change, but the main one is 100% rooted in my business goals for the foreseeable future, and so… tough decisions and sacrifices must be made. The good news is, I’ll be back ALL. THE. TIME. (literally, not kidding), and hence the “farewell” in quotes. But to properly honor this major life milestone, I’ve put together a series of opportunities to see each other in February. There’s something for everyone and lots of options to choose from below, so select the adventure that feels right for you and/or works best for your schedule.
➡️ If you do nothing else, PLEASE RSVP to your chosen activity so I can manage the details on the backend.
If you’re still bewildered and full of questions, concerns, and/or big feels, there’s an FAQ section toward the bottom that should address the majority of them. If not, please see the “logistical and emotional support” section at the very bottom 💖 I look forward to seeing you soon!

If this is news to you, SURPRISE! I'm sorry I didn't get to tell you or talk to you sooner. Alas, here we are, and (IMHO) major life moments are a beautiful motivation to see each other, so come on down and join the fun!
The tl;dr is… I've been splitting my time between Baltimore and San Francisco since June of 2023, spending roughly 4-6 weeks in each location at a time. This is to service and deliver community for my non-profit, Let's Talk Ops, which is a growing group of VC operators (aka my professional peers). This effort is also in service of Strut, my VC consulting firm, so I can continue to nurture our client and LP relationships in New York, D.C., and (yes!) Baltimore. In October of last year, I shook Baltimore down to setup my new permanent residence in Florida. If you want to read more about that, click the “when are you leaving and where are you going?” FAQ.
If you didn't understand anything I just said, that’s OK! Just smile, nod, and come to one of these events to squeeze me and see all your favorite people.

My last full day in San Francisco will be Wednesday, February 26th. The train officially leaves the station on Thursday morning, 2/27. I've already relocated to Pensacola, Florida (America’s first settlement!), and will be giving that a try for the foreseeable future. If you've never seen the Gulf or the beaches of the Flora-Bama shoreline, then one of the best-kept secrets is now… not a secret. You're welcome :) And good news: I have TWO guest rooms, and you are welcome to COME. ON. DOWN!!!

Truly, whichever one you want to attend or that works best for your schedule is the right one. There is no wrong choice! If you want to attend all of them, please do. 🥳 The more of you, the merrier I shall be.

Don’t you worry! In a turn of beautiful events, my place is passing to my 24-hour property manager, turned friend, turned COVID ride-or-die, Tracy. So this glorious place is staying in the family and I’ll be able to come “home” whenever I want.

GOOD NEWS! I’ll be here constantly. I’m not kidding. I’ll be here every month for at least a week for the foreseeable future. If you can’t make any of these “farewell” events, you can see me:
The week of March 17th
The week of of April 28th
The weeks of May 12th and 26th
The week of June 9th
You get the picture 🤗
So text me, and we can coordinate a hang when I’m back next!
