CURRENT MISSION

Say 'yes' to every available opportunity and see what comes of it.

ABOUT ME

I come from a small town, and I have lived within 20 miles of this town my entire life. Thus, I take every available opportunity to travel. I spend most of my time having conversations with my brilliant friends, being a social activist for queerstuffs and racial inequality (mostly), exploring the wilderness, experimental cooking, and trying to constantly broaden my horizons. I also have a hedgehog named Monster. Sometimes I play ukulele, but I'm not very good yet.

PHILOSOPHY

Quit talking about what you want to do, where you want to go, and the problems in the world. Do it, go there, and do whatever you can to change the problems. You may not always be successful, but at least you can say you tried.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have the privilege of being alive, and meeting the amazing people I've encountered.

Teach, Learn, Share

Tycho Brahe (1546-1601) was a Danish astronomer, and the coolest person ever. He had a massive observatory in Sweden, and is known for some of the most correct astrological measurements of his time. Tycho had a pet moose that died after having drunk too much beer one night and falling down a flight of stairs. Additionally, Tycho one day got into a quabble with his third-cousin at a wedding over mathematics. This ended in a sword fight, in which Tycho lost part of his nose. For the rest of his life, he wore a gold or silver nose.
