CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

The short version: ENTP, vegetarian, libertarian and avid cycling enthusiast. For those who care, I'm also a 7w8 on the enneagram sorter.

Amateur digital photography geek and aspiring humanitarian. Former investment-banker and lifetime student.

Recently exited a career in finance, a vocation that gave me a box-office seat in observing human nature and its endlessly fascinating foibles and triumphs. Friends who know me understand I am high-energy and constantly in motion working either on business or interpersonal projects.

My blog gives a good sense of who I am ... you can find me online at http:://pjammer.livejournal.com

If you've read this far, why not take a step further and shoot me a message. Who knows what sort of dynamic we can create together?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tanhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
