CURRENT MISSION

Stay mindfully alive every day. Bring compassion, love, and joy to everything I do and everyone I meet. Build community. Think.

ABOUT ME

I was born in Arizona, USA. I spent the last six years at Stanford University in California, and then I spent a year as a medical English instructor at Ehime University in Japan. Now I'm back at Stanford doing research on human nature, the conditions that promote human flourishing, and the human future (in light of changing bio- and information technologies).
My fiance and I (who you can see in the pictures) would love to meet new people and create wonderful experiences when we travel. Thank you for reading!

PHILOSOPHY
