CURRENT MISSION

Take more deep breaths!

ABOUT ME

I'm 29, and currently retired from the engineering industry.

My passion in life is exploring my many creative and emotional outlets. These include guitar, bass, singing, yoga, surfing, and meeting new and interesting people.

I've been retired (call it unemployed if you'd like) for almost 6 months now. The time off has been absolutely wonderful! Its allowed me to create some much needed space in my life. It took some time to unwind, but I feel like I'm seeing things more clearly than ever now, and I'm looking toward the future with optimism and inspiration!

PHILOSOPHY

I believe heaven and hell exist here and now, on earth. Not after we die.

So i think life CAN be filled with joy, love, friendship and even God, if i choose to live that way. As a result i tend to gravitate toward fun, joy and pleasure as well as like-minded people. Its amazing how easily we stumble across one another, isn't it?

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies:
Cohen Bros, The Matrix, spiritual stuff, any surf flick, comedys. Anything but Horror movies, they stress me out and I don't find them enjoyable.

Music:
The deeper it goes, the more i tend to like it. A few favorites: U2, Incubus, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, i could go on forever.

Books:
Mostly non-fiction recently. I'm currently reading "Autobiography of a Yogi" and "The Four Agreements" both are amazing. I also enjoy the Russian Realists, Chekov, Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy. Again, i could go on forever!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Switzerland, one of the most beautiful places I've ever been in my entire life. Can't wait to go back! Snowmobiling in the back country in Whistler, BC, Canada. Seen the ruins of Atlantis on Santorini in Greece. So much more, let's trade stories!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teaching: Guitar lessons, help with any math HW, most engineering HW and physics too. Can also give surf, meditation and yoga lessons as well.
