About Me

I've been living on-and-off in Europe for several years, working remotely on a variety of projects -- from sustainability, to activism, to new media and innovation in journalism.

Currently working on climate change and social impact projects.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music from the 60s/70s/80s, with some modern stuff as well (Major Lazer, Future, went on a Nirvana kick recently).

Don't read as much as I'd like, but I'm a huge fan of Douglas Adams, Hunter S Thompson, and Isaac Asimov.

Love a big variety of movies. Fincher-esque psychological thrillers, all the McKay and Apatow comedies (Stepbrothers is the favourite), John Hughes 80s movies, older stuff as well.

Teach, Learn, Share

150 years apart, John Stuart Mill (a political philosopher) and Neil deGrasse Tyson (an astrophysicist) both developed the perspective that the purpose of life is finding more truth in the world around us. That curiosity really drives me as well, always enjoy a good/challenging conversation and learning new things.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Perspective, stories, questions, advice, an open mind, friendship, and board games!
