CURRENT MISSION

Expand my mind through other cultures

ABOUT ME

I'm a transplanted New Yorker living in Irvine, by way of Detroit and Santa Barbara. I'm a car enthusiast by trade and by hobby, but I'm moving into the non-profit world to work on political depolarization. I play soccer and race cars for fun.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm aggressively open-minded, but I do have some strong views, and I happen to be fairly liberal...for an American.
