About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To change the way we interact with the information and places around us.

ABOUT ME

I run an amazing little startup called Echoer. We are going to revolutionize the way you discover and interact with the places around you.

How I've spent my life so far: 10% childhood, 44% study, 14% work, 32% sleep. I'm trying to keep the proportions approximately constant.

Countries I've been to: 50 or more, depending on how you count. I want to see at least half of the world's countries, so I'm about 1/3 to 1/2 done, depending on how you count.

I'm a little crazy but in a good way!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short to not give things a go, but if you are gonna do it, do it properly!

Pursue the highest good, subject to constraints. I am still working on the details.

Interests

Running, rowing, Swatches, eating great food.

  • dining
  • running
  • scuba diving
  • skydiving
  • rock climbing
  • rowing

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Cinema Paradiso, The Fifth Element, The Matador, The Hunger Games, etc.

Music: Eclectic. Tracks much rather than albums. Of the 31 days worth of audio in my library, 1.2 days have at least two stars. Bur Spotify has now messed up any music organization I ever had!

Books: Never enough, but mostly related to my interests.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skydiving over Vegas!
Climbing a volcano in the Philippines.
Diving in the pristine waters of the Islands of Palau!
