CURRENT MISSION

Stuffing my brain

ABOUT ME

I have spent much of my life moving, from city to city, state to state, and country to country. The experiences have helped shape my view and appreciation of the world. I love to learn, and have figured out how to make a career out of it :) I am still a student, working on my Ph.D at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). I am in a very unique program there called Media Art and Science, aka the Media Lab.

I am very open-minded, love to learn, and experience new things. I also love food, eating and making it. I am an outdoors person and have done lots of long backpacking trips, camping, etc..

PHILOSOPHY

For me the meaning of life is to become aware. Aware of oneself, other people, and the greater world that we exist in. In so doing we must also come to understand the relationship within and between oneself, others, and the greater world. This process ultimately allows one to understand reality, and for me is the meaning of life.

With that said, I have been actively trying to learn and become aware of the above. This has lead me through some of the best academic institutes in the United States, around the world, through palaces and slums, over mountains and through cities, and most importantly into relationships with others that have taught me much.
