About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet some coffee farmers.

ABOUT ME

I have a passion for culture, education, and history.

PHILOSOPHY

I want to learn from everyone.

I want to deconstruct everything and see what's essential even if it ends up being nothing.

I want for my life to provide a good illustration of my beliefs.

To me, philosophy shouldn't be something you espouse so much as something you acknowledge.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Chewed qat and watched the World Cup in a house with twelve soldiers who didn't speak my language.

Took a bus from Lexington to Guatemala

Rode on top of a pickup truck through the desert to a 1,300 year old city.

Got physically lifted onto a camel and subsequently extorted at the pyramids of Giza (still good fun.)
