CURRENT MISSION

To eat mangos on every beach on the planet.

ABOUT ME

I love to get to know new people and new places. I've still got the silly notion that I can make something of myself and do something to change the world. I think seeing the world is a good first step towards this.

I'm currently working on my PhD at the University of Hawaii. I study lava flows on the moon. This doesn't give me much free time for travel but I think I've found a great place to be stuck in for a few years.

PHILOSOPHY

"you've got to live light enough to see the humor and long enough to see some change"
