CURRENT MISSION

To have fun, be distant from the corporate world, travel, meet new people.

ABOUT ME

I just finished a 2,176.2 mile thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail. On that journey, I relied on the kindness of strangers, but off the trail it can be a bit harder to find people to crash with, and that's where you come in.

PHILOSOPHY

The universe is about 14 billion years old, and we're occupying a microsecond of that time. To think anything we do is really that important is a gross delusion of grandeur. Nothing will last...the only thing to do is to make life as pleasant for others and ourselves as possible.
