General
I am generally interested in the complexities of nature and choose problems that require at least a paper and pencil to work out. I use data, mathematical models, and illustrations as tools to understand the beauty and complexity of nature. When not behind the command-line building models and visualizing data, I can be found exploring California’s extensive backcountry on foot, bicycle, or skis and documenting my adventures through illustration, paintings, photos or prose.

My life’s purpose is to become the best “Renaissance Human” I can be. The current iteration of that is a 5 year learning curriculum that will challenge me across multiple domains: art, storytelling, writing, mechanical engineering, data visualization, physical, ecology, social, and entrepreneurial. Read more about my 5 year goal project.
I am giving a few talks about my Siskiyou Crest Coalition Artist in Residence experience at the Acorn Woman Lookout in Southern Oregon.
