About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel to exotic places and meet awesome people around the world.

ABOUT ME

I'm often inspired, curious, adventure seeking, and pretty damn happy! I'm most happy with a backpack on my back, in a strange land, and with a wide open and uncertain future and destination.

I meditate daily and I have a lot to say about free will.

I work for a start up and I love what I do!

people I like: Eckhart Tolle, Paulo Coelho, Carl Segan, Richard Feynman

PHILOSOPHY

happiness is not a goal in life, but a reward for living for something you really care about.
