CURRENT MISSION

To laugh often and MUCH!

ABOUT ME

Software engineering, web design, and digital marketing in NYC, getting to meet CSers and traveling whenever I can, finding joy in everyday life.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.
(Lennon)

To laugh much; to win respect of intelligent persons and the affections of children; to earn the approbation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give one's self; to leave the world a little better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition.; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm, and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived-this is to have succeeded.
(Emerson)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

"Garganta del diablo" on Iguazy Falls, hitchhiking to volcanoes in Hawaii's big island, waking up to see the Bernese Alps at sunrise, sleeping inside a sequoia in California. Soon: Inca ruins in Peru & Puno. In the future: Bungee jumping in New Zealand, climbing fjords in Norway, making it to the Everest base camp trek. The hike to Intipunku in Machu Picchu was pretty breathtaking, too.
