I've been a lot of things thus far in my life, and I hope to be a lot more. A few of my current labels include: scientist, explorer, mystic, oneironaut, father, home brewer, coffee roaster, and meditation ninja.

Read about my adventures in my forthcoming book: "Chasing Buddhas: 101 Paths to Happiness, Healing, and the Sacred Self".
