Hello!

I was born and raised in Los Angeles, lived in Maui for five years, and since 2023 I'm officially a digital nomad! I enjoy playing alto sax, erhu, violin, singing, tennis, working out, poker, board games, tv, and film. And I love having deep, engaging conversations/debates about all kinds of things, so I look forward to hearing your perspective and sharing mine!

Lastly, I'm gay and progressive, so feel free to be excited by that, or take it as an opportunity to interact with someone you normally otherwise would not 😊.
