CURRENT MISSION

To Boldly Go Where I Haven't Before

ABOUT ME

An American living in Seoul. Been here for over 3 years now. I work as an editor/writer for a localization company, and I've had my hands pretty deep in most PC & mobile games coming out of Korea lately. I would perhaps describe myself as the least American American you'll ever meet. I'm not completely sure what that means, but everyone else seems to agree, so...

PHILOSOPHY

"Once a man has changed the relationship between himself and his environment, he cannot return to the blissful ignorance he left. Motion, of necessity, involves a change in perspective."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Floating calmly underwater at the edge of a continental shelf. Nothing but blackness beneath me, nothing but the deepest blue before, and silence all around. It was like floating at the edge of existence.

Teach, Learn, Share

Problem solving, thinking ahead, how to cook using minimal/random ingredients and limited tools.
