About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm here to fund the revolution. Smiling is a self-fulfilling prophecy, nothing is impossible, everything is fun.

ABOUT ME

I'm a Ph.D. student on an indefinate leave of absence to run a non-profit working on drug policy reform. I also help run a nationwide student organization (I'm the chairman of the board of directors) working in drug reform, Students for Sensible Drug Policy (www.ssdp.org). I'm intelligent, easy to get along with, I like to have alot of fun and exhausting conversations. mi casa es su casa.

PHILOSOPHY

i look at everything as if it were the first and last time my eyes will conjure up such images, i don't believe in limits or limitations (except those imposed by quantized vibrational energy levels, even they are infinite), smiling is a self-fulfilling prophecy, life and technology turn me on, i rock climb because i am afraid, i scuba dive because i'm curious, i am the posterchild for all the wonderful and disasterous things ADD is capable of -- it's a blessing, no information is sacred or secure, my actions are dependent upon compassion-truth-honesty and love, i have too many ideas and am a poor self motivator, i get much done without looking back
