Played piano as a kid, did Parkour during college, switched to Bass and kept the Parkour mentality.

Love DIY stuff, exercise, programming, play the bass and watch movies while eating gummy bears.

Recently discovered meditation and yoga, want to explore this world in more depth.

Pleased to meet you ^_^

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
