🙋🏻 Me in 1 minute

I’m an explorer, writer, xenophile, dancer, sport lover, truth seeker, pattern matcher, people connector, and young entrepreneurial hustler.
I’m also a sucker for people’s stories, serendipitous adventures, intellectual rabbit holes, and different points of view.
I think Taoism, Stoicism, and Buddhism make a lot of sense.
I’m a fan of Christopher Nolan, FKJ, Caamp, Alicia Keys, conscious capitalism, views from mountain peaks, the pareto principle, Game of Thrones, Lebron, hostels, banter, ideas, deep work, speaking Spanish, clever solutions, playing catch, thinking in systems, and a good ‘ole workout.
I don’t like bad incentives, tribalism, clickbait news, strong but uneducated opinions, non-walkable cities, reactive healthcare systems, first-past-the-post election systems, bureaucracy, and gossip.
And I'd like my reputation to be “talk to that guy and you'll leave energized, thinking about something new. Good things will happen (via resources, connections, etc), and it'll generally cost you nothing.”
