    About Seth

    I'm a 15-year finance veteran with stints at Strava and now Google. After years of helping businesses scale, I felt an itch to combine my experience and personal passion to create something meaningful. The result is Trail Waves, a newsletter exploring the business, finance, and culture of trail running.
