About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Worry less, be awesome.

ABOUT ME

I've recently finished college and have moved out to Boston for work. I look forward to making new friends, exploring a new city, and having some great experiences in between.

I am always happy to listen to people about the things that they are passionate about. If another person can feel so strongly about a topic, than chances are I can capture a bit of their excitement myself. In this way, I am always trying to learn as much as possible about a wide range of topics.

PHILOSOPHY

Start at the beginning, and when you get to the end, stop.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I can make fried eggs without breaking the yolk.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a good amount about beer, brewing, liquors, and classic cocktails. I'm an avid photographer and am always happy to share what I know.

I can also teach you about philosophy in traditional Japanese martial arts, the history of menswear, or a variety of other assorted topics if you'd like.

And if you think something is important to you, I'd love to learn about it.
