CURRENT MISSION

Make people smile. Don't be a douche.

ABOUT ME

I'm laid back and get along with pretty much anybody, provided they're not (intentionally) an asshole.

My job requires me to travel often, which is awesome, but also makes it hard to make friends because I'm out of town so frequently. I'm hoping this site will help with that.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a free spirit who believes everyone has the right to live their life how they choose; I don't think there's one specific path or meaning to life that universally applies to everyone.

Interests

My two biggest hobbies are writing and cooking. I still have dreams of writing The Next Great Novel and then retiring to Monaco to live off the revenue.

I also used to go to culinary school and although I didn't pursue that career, I still love cooking and exploring new cuisines.

I really love going to art exhibitions, concerts, and doing anything outdoors or that involves nature.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once volunteered as a relief worker in Lebanon during the 2006 conflict between Hezbollah and Israel, very intense experience.

I can teach you how to cook, how to do regression analyses, how to discount cash flows, or how to roll a perfect j.
