About Me

CURRENT MISSION

experience as much as possible to figure out what i want to do with the rest of my life

ABOUT ME

I have lived in Chicago my entire life but have traveled a decent amount. Over the last couple years I have been fortunate enough to be self employed and telecommute so traveling often has become much more realistic. I have taken advantage but would still like to split time between Chicago and exploring new places.

Music, Movies, and Books

The Grand Design by Stephen Hawking and Atlas Shrugged stick out as two books that I really enjoyed recently.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been to every country in Central America, a few only briefly. Tikal, Galapagos, Machu Picchu, and San Pedro in Belize are a few of my favorite places.

Teach, Learn, Share

There are an estimated 100 - 200 billion galaxies in the universe... all with billions of stars. Relative to what is possible, mankind has literally and figuratively just turned on the light switch. The universe and its unbelievable size is almost impossible to comprehend.
