ABOUT ME

As far as I can tell, we only live once so we might as well spend it laughing, talking, and drinking in good company. This company doesn't necessarily have to think like I do (in fact most of the time it's more fun when they don't)

I'm fairly shy by nature but do everything in my power to push myself outside of my comfort level. I enjoy spontaneity an immense amount and think the words "weird" "normal" and "crazy" should really be omitted from our vocabulary.

PHILOSOPHY

"do one thing every day that scares you" Eleanor Roosevelt

“you can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation” Plato

"it takes two to speak the truth: one to speak, and another to hear" Thoreau

"do I dare set forth here the most important, the most useful rule of all education? It is not to save time, but to squander it" Rousseau

"The three-pound organ in your skull — with its pink consistency of Jell-o — is an alien kind of computational material. It is composed of miniaturized, self-configuring parts, and it vastly outstrips anything we've dreamt of building. So if you ever feel lazy or dull, take heart: you're the busiest, brightest thing on the planet" David Eagleman
