ABOUT ME

I have been a hybrid all my life. I was born in Oklahoma into a very Polish family. From this early age I began looking into cultural clashes and innovations born out of synergy. I grew up with a voracious appetite for reading and discovery leading to many different talents and passions. Later my intellectual pursuits blossomed in a variety of topics including: subcultural studies, linguistics, advertising culture, ethnography, marketing methods, youth culture, folklore, mythology, technology, construction, sculpture, cooking, physics, mathematics, literature, and more. The world has so many things to learn and explore, and nothing is more fascinating to me than the people in it.
Since my recent graduation from university I have undergone a deep transformation. I have realized that my varied and diverse pursuits have been interesting and important to my development, but I am ready to move on to the next stage. It is imperative for me to begin unifying my knowledge, talents, and ambitions in order to pursue a true expertise. In my ideal expertise I would observe and study human behavior; create ingenious methods and systems; and fundamentally work towards placing positive things into the world and peopleâ

PHILOSOPHY

Buddhist mashup and anti-stuff idealist.

I really live to hopefully break out of the consumption cycle, it just takes a while to set-up a life in the ideal sense.

I search for the life worth living and aim to help others do the same. Your things will never make you happy, people will.

Music, Movies, and Books

I cannot remember movies after I watch them, which is great cause they are always new to me. I get really emotionally involved in films. It is not unusual for my empathy with on screen characters to end in tears or cheers.

I listen to all music from all languages. The sounds track to life is whatever moment you are in and whatever is ambient.

I used to read A LOT, but since university I have burnout and just can't wait til I have the enthusiasm and energy to begin reading again.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
