On a mission to start my own business, explore the world we live in, and make a positive difference for society and the environment.

I'm American, but born in England, and grew up between 4 continents. Most of all, I love to travel, make local friends, and learn about culture. I love the outdoors; swimming, hiking, surfing, mountain biking are all my favorite kinds of hobbies. Since I love the outdoors, I want to protect it, so I work in the sustainability and renewable energy sector. I also like to share stories and philosophy over drinks.

I believe experience is everything. The worst experiences are sometimes the most valuable. I'm a bit of an existentialist with influence from some classical Indian philosophies. "But the point is to live." - Albert Camus
