I’m a tech business professional living in Silicon Valley, where the sun always shines - even when it’s cloudy. I’m into creating things - be it products, businesses, art, or relationships. I spend my free time parenting, writing, dreaming up new businesses (and occasionally breathing life into them), helping budding entrepreneurs, building things, and designing websites.

My extraordinary wife Danielle found her calling in sexology; there’s never a dull moment with her. She and her amazing partner Celeste run a successful coaching and therapy business - more about them here.

My name, Yair Harel, is pronounced Ya-EAR Har-EL. Feel free to butcher it, or, if you give up trying to pronounce it right, just call me Jay.
