About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finding that thing that makes me say "Yahoo!" Aloud. Preferably in public.

Interests

Right now, I'm fresh off a backpacking trip in the New Mexican wilderness so my attention has been grabbed by the natural beauty of this state. After I get over feeling insignificant compared to the zillions of years of creation this land has gone through in order to look as it does, I believe that I will want to spend my energy in trying to live more in harmony and peace with the land.

I also spend time working on music. I play piano for singers, instrumentalists, and various ensembles. Music is definitely a love of my life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going to Incheon Fish Market in Korea was a mind trip. I know there's a lot of ocean on this planet but I was still astounded at how many fish there were for sale. On any particular day at this huge fish market, there are tons of fresh fish. I know the same could probably be said for any fish market around the world. But the daily harvest never seems to suffer...

So probably the other awestriking moment is how there's a non-zero percent chance that we run out of fish in our lifetime because of current (over)fishing practices.
