CURRENT MISSION

Try to live the middle way, ride my road bicycle, try not to destroy the earth completely, enjoy life, be nice.

ABOUT ME

I work a 9-5 job doing computer stuff at a non-profit. I've been taking piano lessons for over a year now, in my 5th year of beekeeping, 7th year of rock climbing, and I once got charged by a mountain gorilla in Uganda.

Enjoy discussions on Stoic philosophy, Buddhist philosophy and Eastern Philosophy.

Enjoy speaking Spanish.

PHILOSOPHY

- Whoever shows up are the right ones
- Now is all you have
- Please don't rush
