CURRENT MISSION

To be happy and healthy and wise.

ABOUT ME

I'm a game designer, a cognitive philosopher, a mathematician, a musician, a programmer, a writer and most of all, a teacher. I travel whenever I can and avoid being a tourist as much as possible.

I'm pretty adventurous (not as much socially, but I'm working on it). I'm not a big party-er. I've been told that I tell really good stories though, and I tend to have one for most situations. I like to talk to people about whatever interests them - I think you get a much better explanation of new concepts from people who are passionate about them!

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone has something invaluable to share with the world. It may impact only a person or two, and it may change entire nations of people. Whatever the case, we should all look at each interaction as a chance to help each other bring that invaluable something a little closer to fruition.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My most recent adventure took me around half the perimeter of England, through the highlands of Scotland to one of the most remote islands in the country and back across the sea for a stopover in Ireland. It's not really the most amazing thing I've done, oddly I'm still drawing a blank about that.
