CURRENT MISSION

Change

ABOUT ME

People say I am hard to figure out. I'm not sure there is anything so complicated. I am a very curious person who enjoys new experiences, likes to see people empowered, and I am not afraid of strangers. I am an absurdist who believes that life is change. I embrace that rather than any one fixed identity.

PHILOSOPHY

The main things preventing passionate, intelligent, and competent people from achieving their dreams are fear and apathy.

Never take anything you say to seriously.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I am a gravitational astrophysicist, a burner, a pescetarian, an absurdist, and a firespinner. I have a lot to share.
