in my past (pre-college) life, i was a speech and debater, dancer, artist, amateur youtuber (ask me about my polymer clay channel), and pianist. although admittedly i’ve retained some of these skills less than others, these things heavilyyy influence who i am today. i also love reading about organizational behavior, following baseball (lgm), and reformer pilates.nothing is more fulfilling to me than creating and sustaining meaningful relationships -- both for myself and others. i love connecting people, whether it's through hosting events or trying to matchmake friends.just for fun: tinyurl.com/yaymylife

check out some of my hobbies below

acrylic, polymer clay, digital, etc

random things, ideas i retain from books/podcasts/etc, and ways of thinking that guide my decision making

  • clear is kind, unclear is unkind

  • integrity is binary. you have it or you don’t, and its not situational

  • treat people as an ends, not just a means to an end

  • minimizing regret is a good objective function for decision making. our biggest regrets aren’t our actions. they’re our inactions

  • culture is defined by the worst behavior tolerated

  • it's amazing what can happen when you don't care who gets the credit

  • there are 4 things needed for happiness - perceived control, perceived growth, connectedness, and being a part of something bigger

  • there's a false sense of security in being passive

  • there's what you do, how you do it, and why you do it. the last one is the most important but the most overlooked

  • it's less about content and more about intent. two different people can tell you "your work is sh*t" and you would receive them differently depending on what you think their intentions are

  • there are 2 crimes women commit at higher rates than men: prostitution and runaway

  • the strength of a relationship can be measured by the lag time between a problem surfacing and a problem being resolved

  • phenotype is for hookups but genotype is forever

  • most days at work at my current job, i talk to more people named michael than i do women

  • parents often teach children the world is bad as a defense mechanism. this is actually harmful because it makes them more distrusting of others in a world that's already becoming increasingly isolated

  • when something goes wrong in a computer, you get an error message. when something goes wrong in a human, you get feelings

  • kill em with kindness
