One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Recently I drove across the country and it was dope. I'd rather do it by bike next time, though. Also, rad nanotechnology experiments.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a lot about recording music, mathematics, solid state physics, astronomy, quantum chemistry and miscellaneous science. I've done Food not Bombs in Albany NY for about 5 years and I'm into skill-share type activities like building bikes, computers, brewing beer, etc. I'm a 5-year veteran of the RPM Challenge where you write and record an album of original material during the month of February.

Countries I’ve Visited

Argentina, Canada, Costa Rica, Greece, Israel, Mexico
