I dream of someday owning my own homestead, perhaps even creating an idyllic village with like minded people. I want to learn the land and eat the food I grow, and I want to build the tools I need for a serene life of travel, meditation, and enjoying the outdoors.

As peaceful as that sounds, I wouldn't be able to rest easy unless I found a way to give everyone the opportunity to create a just and verdant life. My pursuit of this endeavor lead me to medical school, in hopes I could alleviate the suffering of others. I realized soon that I was being trained to deal with the symptoms of poverty, and that good health was best achieved through food security and sound infrastructure. I left to pursue a career in computer science, hoping to leverage new technologies to affect change. I learned many new things, and after much deep thought and meditation, I realized that giving people the tools and guidance to live sustainable, healthy lives could have a huge impact. I began researching this prospect in earnest and decided to join with Open Source Ecology to help make this vision a reality.

Today I try to leverage my knowledge of biochemistry, programming, and general mechanics to help build a better economy for humanity. I believe education, open sources tools, and community operated currencies are key to creating a sustainable, circular economy.

I'm currently trying to learn more about farming, manufacturing, 3D modeling and rendering, game development, VR, new forms of currency (Ethereum) and how we can roll all that up into a delicious burrito of freedom.
