About Me

ABOUT ME

An ex-Weta Visual Effects Artist, taking time off to explore the world and met new people.

PHILOSOPHY

One of my personal Heroes, Carl Sagan once said, "Approach life with Skeptical Wonder." I try to live by those words and constantly delight in being surprised by people and learning more about this amazing spinning blue sphere we live on. To me, life is about boundless curiosity and the best way to be at peace with the world is to explore it throughly. What I love about technology and sharing is connecting with new people. There are still so many amazing people to met, and so very little time. I hope this site will help me expand those horizons.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Every time I stand on a film set and watch adults play-dress up and make-believe for a job.

- Getting personal advice from a Director I admired which was "Work Hard and do the stuff that scares you"
