About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Collecting adventures and meeting interesting people along the way

ABOUT ME

Usually when I tell a story about a weird thing happening to me they say, "That would happen to you."

Born in Michigan, high school in Florida, and currently galavanting through my 20's in Boston. I work in tech, and I spend my days (and most nights) thinking about how technology can solve every day problems. Recently, that's centered on the tools people use to work together and get things done.

I also love writing, listening to audiobooks, and hiking.

PHILOSOPHY

Optimize decisions for what will be a more interesting story to tell a stranger in a bar three years from now.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was chased by a homeless man wielding a broom down 5th Street in San Francisco, California. It was terrifying, but a great story...and that's what counts, right?

Teach, Learn, Share

Startups/tech stuff - I run a startup and can teach people about what it's like building a software company

I've been on a big learning kick with genetics and human evolution, so if you know a lot about those things then we'd probably have a long and nerdy conversation.
