Personally #
I’m ever curious and love spotting interconnected threads between ideas. There’s always something new I’m trying. In my spare time, I am:
- Restoring old iPods
- Making art
- Reading a lot of books
- Relearning how to play guitar
I can be found roaming the desert of Joshua Tree and the San Bernardino mountains.
