CURRENT MISSION

Become a cultural and social scholar, as both vocation and hobby.

ABOUT ME

I have two passions: music and literature. I pursued the former in Los Angeles professionally for a few years before deciding to keep it an amateur's hobby, and just finished pursuing the other at UC Berkeley. I love reading, writing, and playing guitar. I also enjoy talking about philosophy, politics, and religion, and enjoy beverages such as whiskey, wine, and beer. I'm a photography hobbyist as well, though I haven't gone out to take photos in a while. I also love the outdoors. I love hiking, camping, backpacking, and rockclimbing. And, of course, I love to travel. I try to make it a point to go somewhere international once a year. I love living in the San Francisco Bay area: really earthy, genuine people who share my worldview, but challenge it enough to keep me open-minded.

Live life fully, respectfully, and thoughtfully.

I also wrote a thesis paper on Langston Hughes.
