I was born in Connecticut, raised in New Jersey, and earned a degree in Electrical Engineering from McGill University in Montreal, Quebec.

After graduating, I set out on “the path” into corporate America. I had a bright future ahead of me on this path, but I realized that climbing “the ladder” and acquiring “more” just wasn’t my cup of tea.

I’m thankful that I made this realization before acquiring a bunch of crap and losing myself in pursuit of the almighty dollar. I’m thankful to the people that opened my eyes and enabled me to live again.

I write at magnusskonberg.com

I’m a vagabond, a minimalist, and an entrepreneur.
