CURRENT MISSION

Just purchased a couch and an air mattress - getting ready for some hosting!

ABOUT ME

I love people and travelling! People are the wild ingredient in life, the spice that makes this world so rich.

Professionally, I'm a product designer, or as my girlfriend—who I met on CS—just said, "an architect of ideas". Making things is part of my life, and besides digital products, I love making photographs and music.

Back in college, I led groups of students on week-long excursions backpacking into the mountains of California or kayaking into the oceans of Mexico. The wilderness is so good for people, and I love it - surfing, backpacking, kayaking, spelunking, whatever. Especially surfing.

I play soccer all the time, and have tried to play pick up soccer in every country I've ever gone to. It's a good way to get to know people, and really cool to see the different physical styles of play that are influenced heavily by culture.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've gone to a lot of places, but Black Rock City is the most amazing place on Earth.

Teach, Learn, Share

I was a wilderness guide for five years and learned to teach a thing or two, but more importantly I discovered that every person I meet has a profound lesson to teach me.
