Music: (Fairly eclectic, fan of folk and bluegrass, I play guitar, I'm learning violin.) Lacrosse: (UMD fan, I play goalie and defense) Academics: I really like to find the simplest reliable underlying rules to a system. Whether that system is about emotions, thermodynamics, literature, agriculture, or politics, doesn't really matter; as long as I can take it apart and put it back together into something that has a positive impact on people's lives. I'm particularly interested in applying this philosophy to urban farming and off grid housing: fields that I'm excited about pursuing professionally.
