Is life really too short to live, or do we just not live our short life enough?
Easy to ask, but difficult to answer.
I’d answer the latter.
In our “short lives,” we are often so stuck in reaching for one goal after the other that we associate happiness with success.
We don’t allow ourselves to relish in the in-between.
My goal is to create experiences for the world’s people that help them realize the beauty of the in-between.
To create experiences that bring them happiness.
That help them smile.
I’m a self-diagnosed polymath who loves to run, cook, conversate, dance, write, program, get outdoors, lead, perform, inspire, podcast, sell, build, golf, listen to podcasts, sing, take photos, learn, use cool tech, sleep on time, and do a whole lot of other unrelated things.
But the medium in which I bring the world happiness has little significance.
It’s the impact that counts.
I am an “Incubator of Happiness”.
The Outdoors Club is driven to help improve the lives of high schoolers through the creation of a community that motivates them to take a break from their lives, get outside, and connect with nature. We meet bi-weekly to discuss our experiences and put forth personal goals detailing how many hours we want to attempt to get outside in the next two weeks. We have chapters in schools in the Bay Area and are open to starting in any other High School.

Founded to curb the dislike currently held by many students towards writing to hopefully help them develop a positive attachment to it.

When we hear Speech & Debate, we think of a three word phrase. And that is being unapologetically yourself. We know how it feels to be afraid of speaking, but it should not be that way. So we built a course designed to help students navigate through the fundamentals of the best activity to get them out of their comfort zone, Speech & Debate.
Currently have over 650+ students enrolled in our assortment of courses.

A light-up table I designed using a NeoPixel Matrix sourced from the manufacturer. Currently creating a model connected to a web server allowing users to have family members control the lights on the table and write messages on it from afar. Learned commitment, responsibility, the importance of time, and marketing dos and donts.
