About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To every day make the world a little bit better

ABOUT ME

A somewhat of an adventurous person. I travel a lot, both personally and with work and I love every minute of it.

On a more philosophical note, I believe that the meaning of life is to maximize the function of (Knowledge)x(Experiences)x(Relationships).

Professionally I'm an entrepreneur. It's a huge part of my life, and I'm very passionate about my work! I'ma former coder and a complete tech geek.

I spend a lot of my spare time involving myself in our regional Burning Man community, ever since having found this marvelous event back in 2011. Black Rock City really feels like home, and I can't wait to go back, and back, and back again! :-)

I'm very social and pretty out spoken. If you enjoy talking about everything and anything, we'll do great! But if you're the silent kind, we might have some trouble connecting.

Mostly doing this because I figured it would be a potentially interesting way of meeting new people. So hit me! ;-)

PHILOSOPHY

Life = max((Knowledge)x(Experiences)x(Relationships))

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: https://play.spotify.com/user/pd0

I read tons of books and I loves my Kindle. Mostly non-fiction, related to the business that I run. Fiction genres include a lot of Sci-Fi, and currently I enjoy "The Diamond Age" by Neil Stephenson. If you haven't read "Incredibly close and extremely loud" you're missing out!

I'm a total sucker for great TV show drama – mostly anything HBO or Showtime goes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm one of those people that once went to Burning Man, and then changed my outlook on life.

But I'll shut up about it unless you want me to talk about it. I promise. :-)
