CURRENT MISSION

Uncover the mysteries of the universe, or at least a small part of it.

ABOUT ME

In my opinion... The best food in the world is the pizza you get after a backpacking trip, the best job in the world is the one you do for free, and the best time in the world is when you realize that in spite of where, who, or what you are, you wouldn't change a thing.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm an atheist, philosophically Buddhist, overall pretty mellow person.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen thousands of shooting stars during the 2001 Leonid meteor shower, spent hours staring at the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, and I've followed giant crustaceans too far and been yelled at to get off the beach by irate Chinese soldiers.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach about: thunderstorms, the weather, the atmosphere, clouds, space, the solar system, the Galaxy, the cosmos.
I'd like to learn about: humanity, philosophy, the Earth.
