CURRENT MISSION

To live and learn as much as possible.

ABOUT ME

I'm a young-at-heart conservative techie (nerd!) that refuses to settle down. I grew up traveling a lot with family and humanitarian (religious) groups, but now do it for the fun and people. I'm kind of unconventional in the career dept., but still might settle down one of these days.

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe Diem. Carpe Noctum.

Interests

I like eating and hanging out around the city with friends. In the summer I camp, hike, and raft (Western U.S. is great for this). I stay up to date on current events especially politics, tech, and science.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was with a school group that went safari'ing in East Africa and we got to stay on the cheap in a beach resort near Tanga near the border of Kenya-Tanzania. There was like, one or two people besides us there. There's a huge sandbar you can walk out on that I just found intensely cool. Furthermore they had these ancient-style wood catamarans for hire that the locals would navigate the sand on day-to-day to these small sand-islands. We went to one so far out we lost sight of the coast, and spent the day snorkeling. I've never felt so off the grid and unfindable as I did then.
