Curious. I like building things. Home in San Francisco / Bretagne for work. Born and raised in New York City. Currently pursuing a lifelong passion for the sea as a professional sailor and technologist with the 11th Hour Racing Team. Other things i enjoy: photography & printing, aviation, audio engineering, superlative experiences, psychology, naval architecture, hacking in the traditional sense. - An excerpt from T. S. Eliot's The Dry Salvages, one of the Four Quartets - Men's curiosity searches past and future And clings to that dimension. But to apprehend The point of intersection of the timeless With time, is an occupation for the saint— No occupation either, but something given And taken, in a lifetime's death in love, Ardour and selflessness and self-surrender. For most of us, there is only the unattended Moment, the moment in and out of time, The distraction fit, lost in a shaft of sunlight, The wild thyme unseen, or the winter lightning Or the waterfall, or music heard so deeply That it is not heard at all, but you are the music While the music lasts.
