About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to play music and travel cheaply

ABOUT ME

I'm a pretty low-key guy who lives for music and other hedonistic pleasures. Food is pretty crucial to my existence. While I might look serious, I assure you that I am not. My brain is playing a constant loop of circus music.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't piss off my dad.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll teach you how to cook something. If you have an instrument, I'll play banjo with you. If you're into philosophy, I'll drink wine with you until we both feel better about the world.
