About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Bicycle-powered everything.

ABOUT ME

I can't eat meat. In grade 7, my science teacher convinced me that pigs were genetically modified with human DNA. I've been a traumatized vegetarian ever since.

Interests

My recent days are spent cycling, woodworking, filmmaking, and exploring the wilds of the Pacific Northwest.

Music, Movies, and Books

Since starting graduate school, the peer-reviewed journal article has become my only companion. I've forgotten what the joy of reading fiction feels like, but I know it used to feel a lot like Kurt Vonnegut and Michael Ondaatje.

The last film to make me cry? Beasts of the Southern Wild. Last record purchased? Inflatable Boy Clams.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiking to Monrovia on the back of an okada.

Teach, Learn, Share

Sometimes I teach pottery, darkroom photography, and stop-motion animation. I'd like to learn how to code.
