CURRENT MISSION

To do good work.

ABOUT ME

I grew up on a farm in Oregon in the USA, started playing video games, wanted to make them, and later did. I moved with my Bengali wife to Kolkata in 2002 and here we are still.

PHILOSOPHY

Try hard to accomplish things, but don't get too hung up on whether or not you succeed.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed high up along the LOC in Kashmir looking for Aurel Stein's memorial. After being delayed by nervous Indian soldiers, fumbled back down in the dark with the help of some friendly villagers who came up to fetch us.

I once stumbled my way into a blackjack scam in Bangkok and went pretty far with it but escaped with my skin and no losses in the end. I won't fall for that again, probably.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a lot about computers, math and video games. Trying to learn more Bangla.
