Well-being enthusiast living on the central California coast. Currently studying for a PhD in philosophy at the University of California, Santa Cruz. I consider philosophy to be first and foremost a way of life that is intrinsically worthwhile because it's critical and reflective form brings value to living. My academic philosophical interests fall somewhere along the lines of value theory, perception studies, epistemology, and metaethics. Ultimately I seek to better understand how different ways of speaking and thinking lend themselves to different ways of seeing. Music and audio/visual editing is another great interest in my life, and you can find some of my musical collaborations and contributions by searching the group JUNGLE NOIZE on the internet; we are located in various places on the web, including Spotify and Soundcloud. Yo-Yos and impersonations are cool too. A good metaphor for it all is to say: life is a grand play, and the stellar execution of our character is the goal.
