Took a year off of studies at Princeton to backpack around the world. Studied yoga in India and Tai Chi in Taipei. Scared the crap out of his parents. Never regretted it.

Dreams about: Helping others create a sustainable, creative, and spiritual life.

Keeps awake at night: Wondering if he makes his wife happy.

Is afraid to lose… His health, his relationships, his mental capacities, his influence, his relevance.

How does she/he make decisions? Asks people in his life for their recommendations, does his research, and then double checks with his gut.

Who does he trust and asks for advice? His wife and a small close-knit circle of friends.

What’s important in life? Family, community, legacy, education, also hidden from obvious view: sex, spirituality, and writing.
