Movies: Across the Universe, A Christmas Story, I Love You Man, Step Brothers, The Patriot, A Clockwork Orange, Donny Darko, Pulp Fiction, Rocky Horror Picture Show, and most cult films, I enjoy scary movies in the theater because they get my adrenaline pumping, and documentaries about history or environmental related topics

Food/Diet: Well I eat mainly vegan (about 98% of the time) for health reasons and because I disagree with factory farming practices. I was 100% vegan for almost 7 years and when I moved home in 2011, my dad is an abalone diver and I am not against fishing and hunting for game, but I do not like the mass production practices so I avoid commercial purchasing of fish, but eat it about once a month (it prevents Alzheimer's). About a year later I started to buy eggs from my dad's co-worker (because they are hormone free and truly cared for hens).

I really like sushi (I can roll!), Ethiopian, Thai, Papalote (Mexican restaurant in San Francisco that is a healthier option for Mexican food and has vegan options), and pretty much anything with the following ingredients: avocado, sun dried tomatoes, broccoli, chia seeds, dark chocolate, garlic, almonds, spicy hummus, and Franks Red Hot Sauce (I put that *ish on everything)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Burning Man, lived in Boston, MA for 3 months with a girl that I met randomly in NYC when I was traveling a summer and just made it happen, I lived in Brooklyn for 3 months during the worst winter EVER, so many things to share, but I would rather share them in person :)

I am an engineering student so if you have questions about math or physics or water, I could talk to you about some cool things
