ABOUT ME

Life story:

- Born to kind parents in Palo Alto, CA

- Grew up ages 2 - 14 next to a lake amid Oregon farms as a boy either trespassing in summer or studying in the rain

- Began studying traditional archery, Aikido/Iaido, and blacksmithing during high school

- Went to the University of Chicago for physics, researching and riding my bike a lot

- Currently living in LA doing something different: consulting

PHILOSOPHY

This is either a silly question or a very serious one. Generally, I think that suffering is worth it and should be sought out. Confucius' Analects make a lot of sense to me too.

音乐、电影和书籍

While I usually like media other people like, its unusual for people to really enjoy what I like.

But a quick set of recommendations are Porco Rosso (film), Winter's Tale (book), and Yes Minister (TV). I'm eager for new independent music and generally believe that there are only two genres: good and bad.
