Now

This is a now page. It’s a snapshot of what’s going on in my life right now.

Last Updated: February 2026.

Teaching at Columbia

I’m teaching at Columbia University and running the Professional Tutoring Program, the first university-level program for tutors. The program is fully live now, and it’s been rewarding to see it gain traction.

It’s exciting to see tutoring finally treated as something more than a side hustle.

Professionalizing Tutoring

I’m continuing to grow the League of Exceptional Tutors, a community of educators who want higher standards, better training, and less of the insular “figure it out yourself” mindset that tutoring has tolerated for decades. I’m also serving as Chief Cognitive Scientist at Advantage Testing, which gives me another channel to push this profession forward.

Making Stuff Online

I’m creating videos for Scalar Learning (110K subscribers) and adding lessons to my SAT Skool community.

The goal remains the same: make learning less mysterious and more doable.

DILFs of Larchmont

The DILFs of Larchmont are expanding. We’ve been making short comedy videos, and the official Shopify store is launching soon. Conan O’Brien mentioned us, and now we have merch. That’s what momentum looks like for an aggressively normal dad group.

I wrote more about that story on this blog here.

Comedy

I host the Backyard Comedy Series, my ongoing attempt to reduce loneliness through jokes told behind my house. It works better than you’d expect.

Read more about our last comedy crawl here. Or you can read more about when I had 300 people come together for a comedy show.

Life With Two Kids

Baby #2 is settling in, and the house is both louder and funnier than before. We’re finding our new rhythm as a family of four.

What’s Next

More teaching. More writing. More parenting. And apparently, more dad merch. Updates will arrive sporadically, depending on how cooperative the kids are.

The End.
