CURRENT MISSION: My general life mission/favorite quote is Charles Du Bos's line "The most important thing is this: to be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become." I think it does a great job summing up what Shivani and I hope that all our exploring will lead to: learning and sharing with others in an earnest effort to better ourselves.

ABOUT ME: I currently work as a nurse at UNC Hospital's Surgery/Trauma ICU, and I worked in a Burn ICU before that. I live in a small home and raise pet chickens. Their names are Chex, Lewis, Fizz, and Fitz. They provide me with entertainment and eggs. I enjoy building things, listening to podcasts, and cycling.

PHILOSOPHY

You only live once, so if you dig it, do it, and if you really dig it, do it twice.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hiked the Appalachian trail for a couple week. That was pretty awesome.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always interested in learning about politics/philosophies/views and getting a different perspective on the world we live in.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a strong background in Ethics, so if someone would like to learn a little more about that subject, I'm more than willing to share. I also have a more general background in philosophy, so I can also discuss that.

I'm also a nurse in a surgery/trauma ICU, and before that burn ICU, so I'm always down to share what little knowledge I have of medicine, burns, etc
