Sam Gardner

This site is a collection of things I care about: music, reading, travel, TV and movies, and whatever else I find interesting.

I'm a big believer we're in the golden era of the arts, so I update this regularly with whatever I'm reading, watching, and listening to.

Outside of work, I spend most of my time with friends in NYC or tinkering on side projects.

I'm a pretty good chess player and a member at the Marshall Chess Club.

I run five times a week, I'm highly competitive, and I read way too many articles and probably not enough books.

Some of my favorite writers right now are Paul Graham, Aella, Derek Thompson, David Brooks, Benn Stancil, Gurwinder Bhogal, Calvin French-Owen, Jason Cohen, Ross Douthat, Ben Thompson, and Conor Friedersdorf.

I currently work at Anthropic, and before that, a handful of other startups.

If you've read this far, you should send me a note in the chat.
