I love nature and science and have devoted most of my adult life to those pursuits.
I enjoy learning about new cultures and meeting new people. I also like just having a good time and hanging out with a few beers and relaxing.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music — Top 5 rock bands: Tool, Pink Floyd, Opeth, Porcupine Tree/Steven Wilson, Lunatic Soul
Music — Top 5 Rap groups: Run the Jewels, Wu Tang Clan, Dr. Dre, Eminem, N.W.A

Movies — I enjoy all movies from Hollywood to Art House as long as they are well done. I also like foreign language films (e.g. Amorres Perros, Prophet).

Books — I read mostly non-fiction but enjoy fiction quite a bit when I get a chance to read it. My favorite genre would have to be Sci-Fi, with my favorite series being Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy and Favorite stand alone being Day of the Trifids.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ayahuasca! Although come to think of it this likely isn't that amazing for many South American's, where the practice is more commonplace or at the very least well-known.

Teach, Learn, Share
