I was born in Massachusetts and moved to Ohio when I was 12, and in July 2015 decided to move to Chicago. I sold or gave away 75% of me stuff, sold my car, left my great group of friends and my family, and moved into a tiny studio apartment on my own in the pursuit of a new lifestyle. Since college, I've aways been eager to learn new strategies to improve myself, whether through diet, exercise, mental challenges. Over the course of a few years I've found several sources of information that have been vitally important for me to getting to where I am today. I've by no means reached the end of this journey of personal development, and I moved to Chicago with the specific goal of finding other people who share this drive.

Music, Movies, and Books

I play guitar and enjoy pretty much all types of music, my favorite is jam bands like Phish. I also really enjoy melodic house.

I don't watch a ton of movies (I don't own a TV!), but I do watch a lot of documentaries about food, health, the environment, etc.

My favorite books are:
1) Ishmael - Daniel Quinn
2) The Primal Blueprint - Mark Sisson
No other books I've read (yet) stand out as having a major impact on me.
