CURRENT MISSION

"to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield"

ABOUT ME

love anything that can be turned into a game or treated as a puzzle... where you can analyze it, discuss it, and find a solution.
i have studied a considerable amount of art, lit, & philosophy along with my science background.

i think about music constantly and play with friends whenever i can. i try to learn a new instrument every couple years
i love any sports as well, especially basketball, soccer, and ultimate frisbee.

PHILOSOPHY

pantheism/heterodoxy

Whatever happens. Whatever
what is is is what
I want. Only that. But that.
~ Galway Kinnell

you are a part of whatever you do, and it's a part of you.
engage everything.
