About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live life while I can!

ABOUT ME

I am still trying to find balance in my life in a lot of ways- I want to work, and work hard, but not too much... I want to do the right thing, but selfishness sometimes takes over. I want to try to explore the world and contribute to it, while making some good friends along the way.

PHILOSOPHY

Whatever you do, don't take yourself so damn seriously.

Music, Movies, and Books

Asian films, horror movies from the campy to the gross (evil dead movies, the loved ones, etc etc), all sorts of nerdy tech stuff, raymond carver, Russian authors.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sunrise over the grand canyon, various glimpses of the good in mankind.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to write code or tend to your garden (granted, it's hard to have a garden of any sort here).

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Belize, England, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Mexico, Scotland
