About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find & maintain a good balance between the good life & the meaningful life

ABOUT ME

I started a robotics company with some friends right after finishing university, and that was a huge part of my life. Over the past few months I started to realize it wasn't as fun as it used to be, and that I'd left a lot of things by the wayside in the process. So now I'm taking some time to figure the next chapter in my life.
Whenever I can get away I try to put myself into situations where I can meet new & interesting people. It usually works out pretty well.

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone has their own perspective on things. Yours may not always be the 'right' one.
