CURRENT MISSION

To be the change I want to see in the world.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 20-something, caught up in the torrential aftermath of my white-suburban-middle-class upbringing. Some days I think I have it figured out. Other days I feel completely lost. But as the Dude once said, life is "strikes and gutters, ups and downs, man."

And we all know, the Dude abides.

I debate. I learn. I ski. I play. I read. I talk. I philosophize. I bullshit. I try. I succeed. I fail. I live.

PHILOSOPHY

The Dude Abides.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have loved. I have lost. To answer the poets - It really is better.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a love/hate relationships with the dismal science of economics. Of everything I've read, learned, discovered, there are two words that sum up the world of economics: Incentives Matter.

If that's all you remember, then the world is your playground.
