About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Starting a sanitation company in Kenya!

ABOUT ME

I love meeting new people and hearing peoples' stories. I think there is infinite knowledge that we can learn from each other and the environment that surrounds us.
I love being outdoors climbing, skiing, running, discing and just generally pushing my limits.
Inequality in the world bothers me. I try to use my skills and education to help communities achieve their goals. Right now I am focused social enterprise for water and sanitation projects.

PHILOSOPHY

Responding to opportunities with "Yes and (fill in the blank)".

Things have a great way of working out.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed in Vienna with my girlfirend and had great hosts. Gave us a bed and fed us wonderful Austrian food. We searched for some ping pong balls during the day to play some beer pong. Our hosts loved it and were quite good.
In Santiago I attended a few meetups, hosted lots of characters and have made some wonderful friends.
