I'm an American living in Texas. My partner and I are visiting her family in Cardiff for Christmas, and I am staying in London for the first few weeks of the year to work. I love getting to know a new corner of the world both at home and abroad.

I think a happy life is just an amalgamation of insignificant positive experiences sprinkled with some big highlights. I hope to make some memories to reflect fondly on when I'm old and wrinkly.

The world is a really dope place, and I think it's worth preserving. To that end I've worked developing renewable energy for the past several years. Hopefully it makes a difference, but if not, at least it pays the bills.
