Rooted North.
Built in the Desert.
Pine & Saguaro is my passion-project hub for the research, models, tools and work I build. Minnesota roots. Built in the desert. It grows slowly and is built to stand.

About
The North and the Desert.
A Minnesota pine and an Arizona saguaro have more in common than you'd think. Both grow slowly, both stand tall for generations, and both hold up through hard seasons. Pine is also framing lumber, the bones of every building.
Pine & Saguaro is the founder-owned hub for my research, models and dashboards, AI work, science, design, engineering, history, construction and golf. It is a personal project, not a registered firm or investment adviser. The structure is meant to grow, with new work added as new ideas take root.
Patient
Compounding over quick wins. Grow slow and stand tall.
Framed to last
A builder's discipline: good structure, square and plumb.
