PAYING ATTENTION.
BUILDING THINGS.
LIVING LIFE.

About Me
I’m Thomas Michael. I’ve built companies, sold them, and learned that the most interesting part of success is what comes after it.
These days, life looks like a mix of building, investing, traveling, collecting art, playing drums, restoring old stuff, experimenting in the kitchen, and staying increasingly committed to being fit, curious, and engaged with the world.
Born in Hamburg, shaped by New York, and now living in London, I move through life with a global lens, a builder’s instinct, and a strong preference for experiences over appearances.
