CURRENT MISSION To explore grow and evolve ABOUT ME I work in Fluid Dynamics and am about to begin work in solar cells. When I am not exploring how the world works at a mechanical and electrical level I am learning about how it works socially - I love to meet new people, see new places, and hear about different ideas and philosophies on life. I also like to ground my body in the world - I climb, play basketball, and practice Chi Kung. PHILOSOPHY We are our perceptions (consciousness). The rest is the machinery.
Interested in Basketball
Fluent in English

One Amazing Thing I've Done

Teach, Learn, Share
I have invented a new way to tie a figure eight knot (not so exciting but kind of cool). Message me if you want to know it. I am a competent cook and am more than happy to share some knowledge (and learn more too). I am also happy to give lessons in mathematics and physics. I like to practice my French (though it is quite bad).
My Interests
I am interested in the root of consciousness - the space just before a thought is formed or emotion felt. I also am captivated by large spaces, silence, and perception. A nice cup of tea with a good friend also can intimately hold my attention.
