CURRENT MISSION
Finish life before it finishes me, and bring everyone up along the way
ABOUT ME
I have an insatiable curiosity.
PHILOSOPHY
There are moments in this world that are so perfect and surreal, they can never be replicated. My two most recent:
Wandering off the trails and into the wild Jungle of Oahu, stopping and trying my first Guava by picking it fresh off a tree.
In Rome, at the Pantheon at night. A homeless looking woman with a cello sat down as I was in a nearby cafe having a glass of wine, and she started to play the most beautiful renditions of ave maria and selections from Bach. Mathematical perfection in music bouncing off around the piazza of Mathematical perfection in Architecture.
Not a personal philosophy, but a travel philosophy: Find those moments
