The mark of an immature man is that he wishes to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of a mature man is that he wishes to live humbly for one.

Wilhelm Stekel

One of my most important goals in life is to live humbly for the causes that I care about. I consider myself lucky to have found a passion in environmental sustainability early in my life, one that has guided me through school clubs, community gardens, nonprofit organizations, a blog (which, like many of the works listed on this page, I look back on with a bittersweet mixture of fondness and embarrassment), conferences, and now Dartmouth College.

But my passions aren’t limited just to the environment. As I’ve grown older the list has grown longer and more varied: government, minimalism, theme park design, Rubik’s cube speed solving, mountain biking, climbing, skiing, and psychology being just some of the passions I’ve added throughout the years.

So, welcome! I hope you find something to enjoy among the works listed here. I’ve certainly enjoyed making them.
