CURRENT MISSION

To fit everything I own into one bag

ABOUT ME

I am a startup guy who left Yale in my senior year to start a company aiming to bring scientific research online. We were apart of TechStars Boston 2010 and have gone on to raise funding, grow the team and are currently utilized by researchers at Harvard, Stanford, NYU, ANU in Australia, & many more.

I like to spend my free time exploring local hiking trails, bombing seeds (guerilla gardening), and learning all I can about self sufficiency & homesteading.

PHILOSOPHY

"Set aside a certain number of days, during which you shall be content with the scantiest and cheapest fare, with course and rough dress, saying to yourself all the while: "Is this the conditioned that I feared?"
-Seneca

I am trying to bring simplicity to my life via reducing my dependance on material goods and seeking personal self sufficiency.
