About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To develop systems and policy that exponentially help others.

ABOUT ME

I'm a co-founder of an international nonprofit organization called Global Brigades and I spend most of my time traveling and speaking at universities across the world on its behalf. Unfortunately, this passion has limited my conversational capacity to international development, global health, Central American political economy, metaphysics, and silence.

PHILOSOPHY

"When experiencing the world becomes the operating mode, it replaces talking about it inconsequentially."
- James H. Austin

Interests

At the moment, I'm looking to meet with people throughout my travels who are interested in sustainable architecture, public health, clean water, microenterprise development, micro-lending, land rights, or environmnetal preservation.
