I am a man on a mission of relentless self-improvement, and I am devoted to sharing what I find along that journey. 

I am a graduate of Santa Clara University, awarded a BA in Philosophy. The highlight of my academic career was my induction to Phi Beta Kappa, an academic honors society with a secret handshake. Into Aristotle, Virtue Ethics, and Pragmatism. 

I'm a martial arts fanatic. I've studied capoeira, krav maga, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, kickboxing, hapkido, MMA, and basically everything else. I'm known as "Graduado Bandeira" in Capuraginga; I teach Brazilian Capoeira in Colorado Springs. I also hold a Green Belt from Vanguard Krav Maga. I prefer no-gi grappling, but just love martial arts/combats sports of all types. Young white Bruce Lee, into fighting and philosophy.

I work in technology, as a Sales Engineer at Egnyte. I'm an expert in file-sharing services. Generally fascinated by communications technologies. Always thinking about Artificial Intelligence. Techno-joy and techno-fear. Big believer in science, technology, and the perfectible universe. We will tear down the stars and replace them with our own creations. 

Spiritual seeker, fascinated by religion and philosophy. Seeking for Truth, Beauty, and the Unity of Knowledge. 

Smooth-talker, salesman, rhetorician. I believe that rhetoric is one of the true super-powers a human can possess. Student of persuasion and influence.
