CURRENT MISSION

To make the most of quasi-intellectual trips and to become a polymath one experience at a time.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 26-year old PhD student at Michigan State University. I currently don't have a couch to crash on (still waiting on my bed to be delivered technically).

PHILOSOPHY

All we truly gain in life is experiences. I live my life to gain the most experience as possible and then pass on what I can to others.
