CURRENT MISSION

To meet the best people the world has to offer!

ABOUT ME

I love having fun. I love adrenaline sports. I love learning new things. I love creating.

I grew up moving around the world. After living in a conservative town in SE Washington for the first tens years of my life, my parents got jobs that required us too move all over the world.

When I was 10 I moved to Amman, Jordan. This really opened up my eyes to how different life is for others in the world.

At 13 I moved to South Africa, where I lived for another 3 years. South Africa had a huge effect on the way that I see people of other cultures and races. It made me much more understanding of people that had opposing view to mine.

After a few more moves I then ended up in Seattle at the UW to go to college. After 5 years of engineering school I am ready to find what I really want to do in life, which is harder than I thought it would be. It is my dream to have my own startup company creating hardware and software applications. I have already started down this road and it has been very rewarding and I feel liked I have learned 10 times the amount I did in school in 1/10 the time.

PHILOSOPHY

Be calm and seek understanding.
New Experiences push me to look at life differently.

教，学，和分享

I have spent the last 4 years studying Electrical Engineering and I love to share knowledge on technology. I believe the most important knowledge that I have has not been reached through school but through the search to do what I enjoy in life. I am still on on this journey and seek to learn from anything and everything!

I do tons of adventure sports and can teach you many of them(kayaking,rock climbing, cliff diving, biking, swimming,etc).

I carry my slackline with me everywhere and love to teach people how to slackline. Here is a video, if you dont know what it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yml6D7_54O4&feature=related
