About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore as much of the world as possible, while remaining cash flow positive :)

ABOUT ME

Most of my time is occupied with programming, this past summer I interned at facebook (as a software engineer). About a week ago I decided instead of flying back, why not motorcycle back to illinois (from california). So I got a bike, and rode cross country.

Now it's time for another adventure, I'm landing in Berlin on the 19th and backpacking.

PHILOSOPHY

You always need to go go go and seek out new experiences. It's too easy to get caught up in one place, doing one thing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My brother hosted a few people, and they were awesome! (I plan on getting a beer with them in europe) I'm looking forward to surfing on this trip, and then opening up my couch.

Music, Movies, and Books

Right now I'm really digging the cults, I've always likes vampire weekend, Nada Surf and Metric too. Last september I went to north coast music festival and saw Benny Benassi and Lupe Fiasco.

I'm a fan of superhero movies and zombie movies, can't wait for the new batman and world war z to come out!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Japan was amazing. I was in kyoto, and decided to go to the mountains, the fact that you can get to the mountains by train within an hour was awesome. Hiking up the side was even more fun! There was an amazing view of the city, the city looked like ocean foam.

I also motorcycled across country, met a few interesting people, but going through state parks was able to see amazing landscapes.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach about programming (mostly web design), and tech.
I'm a jack of all trades and can do a bit (and teach) car/motorcycle work, business management, and engineering.
