About me

In the ocean of life, we are travelers seeking our own paths. I consider myself nothing more than a statistic - I could have been you. Like most of us, I try to find meaning. This blog journals one such quest.

Lifestyle

I live a simple life with very few things to worry about. I thrive to reduce consumption and waste generation.

I love animals, so I’m vegan. I’m also turning more health conscious and I think about nutritional information on every meal. I’m also trying to improve my 10 mile run time. Currently, my best 10 mile run is ~1hr 30min.

I’m good at learning new skills - currently working on learning to play the piano.

Travel

I love to travel, experience things and meet new people.

My current goal is to travel all 50 states of USA.

Status: 3350

Tech

I am a nerd about upcoming technologies and learning how they work, both in theory and in practice. Currently I’m excited about quantum computing.
