About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To explore, learn, adventure, and enjoy. There's so much in the world to see and experience, and I want to keep doing new things.

ABOUT
I'm a young man that loves to explore and learn. I care a lot about the people around me, and I like to get out and meet new people no matter where. I like to get involved in lengthy conversations, partially for the sake of deep conversation, but also because it's one of the greatest ways to learn. I'll talk about anything from politics and philosophy to the best way to consume rootbeer floats.

I currently work at Bungie on the game Destiny. Previously, I was a physics student, and also serving as the Operations Supervisor at a Research Nuclear Reactor.

I've always been a bit of a geek, and you can see that in my chosen career. I'm especially interested in the social impact of media and the things we get out of interacting with fiction.

Other than that, I'm musical (and like a lot of different types of music), I love the outdoors when I can get to it, I love to cook, though am still learning things, and I love hugs and cuddles.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm trying to get the most out of life, and enjoy every minute of it. I value relationships and the wellbeing of others above all.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have experience in physics, nuclear technology, video games, and plenty of completely unrelated things. I like to teach what I know, but I most like to just talk about things. I'm interested in learning, well, everything about everything, so we should have a great time!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share stories from my life and insight about the things I've experienced. Also, hopefully laughter.
