CURRENT MISSION

First, finish my Ph.D. (very soon) and then take a huge break to enjoy life and relationships with friends and family.

ABOUT ME

I'm constantly trying new things and can't let a moment of my time go unfilled. When I find something that makes me happy I focus my energy on it and make it part of my life. Recently this has meant taking up skiing and mountain biking!

PHILOSOPHY

Live to be happy. Every move you make either gets you closer to that or further away.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to rock climb, especially all the safety stuff involved in belaying or we can discuss crazy neuroscience theories and ponder the robot takeover of the world.
